I'm sorry to repost this, but I didn't get an answer yet for this seemingly simple issue. I need to make sure that an email address has the @ symbol before I insert it from one table to another. Does anyone know the syntax? What I have that isn't working is -
select * from table where email charindex ('@',email) > 0
Trying to find the best way to vaildate email formats when importing records to result tables etc... the first seems to run faster, but it seems too easy, like something is getting missed.
Does anyone know if using:
WHERE email LIKE '%@%.%'
instead of using:
WHERE ( CHARINDEX(' ',LTRIM(RTRIM([email]))) = 0 AND LEFT(LTRIM([email]),1) <> '@' AND RIGHT(RTRIM([email]),1) <> '.' AND CHARINDEX('.',[email],CHARINDEX('@',[email])) - CHARINDEX('@',[email]) > 1 AND LEN(LTRIM(RTRIM([email]))) - LEN(REPLACE(LTRIM(RTRIM([email])),'@','')) = 1 AND CHARINDEX('.',REVERSE(LTRIM(RTRIM([email])))) >= 3 AND (CHARINDEX('.@',[email]) = 0 AND CHARINDEX('..',[email]) = 0) )
is any better, or are they both pretty much bring back the same result sets?
I have a DTS package that I'm moving over to SSIS. In place of migrating this package, I've choosen to recreate it. This package moves data from an Informix database to a SQL database.
In the old package the first task was to make a simple connection to the Informix database and if the task failed, it would send an email and stop the package.
The biggest reason for this is because the Unix server that I'm getting the Informix data from forces the user passwords to be reset ever 90 days. So in my old package, if I forgot to change the password and the connection started to fail it would send me an email.
In my new package, SSIS performs a validation before starting. There are a number of task that uses the connection to the Informix database. Under testing, if I put in a bad password, the validation process generates a validation error. I've tried catching this validation error using the Error Handling events but I've had no luck. I can send out errors PreValidation and PostValidation but OnError appears not to fire under a validation error.
Might anyone have any suggestions on a proper way to validate and be able to send out email notification if a connection fails? Any assistance would be appreciated.
I have a report that gets sends out through a subscription and sometimes the report has multiple pages and all those pages appear within one email.Is it possible to set the subscription in such a way that an email is sent per page when the subscription executes.
Under IIS SMTP I can set bounced email redirect etc. how to do that with dbmail, the idea is I can get the list of bounced emails somewhere so I can create a report.
what I want to achieve is to load a text file that has email addreses from disk and using the email addresses in the text file look it up against the email addresses in the database table then once matched delete all the users in the table whose email address were in the text file.
I also want to update some users using a different text file.
I am working on a query application, and I want to do syntax validation before I submit the dynamically sql to the database. The expression will include ANDs, ORs, IN, (,),>,<,etc. Anyone done this already? any code snippets?

Now to test errors comming back on the aueue i sed to make the xml tags wrong, then the target would send a error back on the queue with xml validation failed (both queues have validation well_formed_xml). However now in testing i cannot even send the message i get an invalid xml error straight away, i am not sure why this is , i know the xml is not valid but the send used to work and i would get an erro rback, as the xml is validated by the ttarget, but this no longer works it ails strainght away, with no thing in any queue. What could be causing this ?
I think I have read online a recommendation about not using XML VALIDATION in a production environment, due to performance reasons. Is it recommended using other that NONE validation in production, and is there available documentation for a scale that grades performance hits for various types of validations?
Afternoon all,I want my SQL SP to do some validation on a form submit to do the following before committing to the table.If email address (txt.Email.Text) doesn't exist in the table, commit values.if email address (txt.Email.Text) does exist and option (radOptions.SelectedValue) equals 1, print message to say 'you're already subscribed'if email address (txt.Email.Text) does exist and option (radOptions.SelectedValue) equals 0, print message to say 'you're not subscribed'if email address (txt.Email.Text) does exist and option (radOptions.SelectedValue) equals 1 or 0, update row to 0 or 1 (depending on subscribe or unsubscribe - 1 = subscribed, 0 = unsubscribed) The simple SP is currently:ALTER procedure [dbo].[sp_customerSignups]@name varchar(50),@email varchar (50),@subscribed intasBEGININSERT INTO tblCustomerSignups(Name, EmailAddress, Subscribed)VALUES(@name, @email, @subscribed)END Does anyone have the correct syntax for this?Thanks,Brett
When I create and query the XML file using LINQ, everything works just fine. I also get no compilation errors. But when I try to add the XML file to a database-field of type xml(CONTENT dbo.Common7), I get following error: XML Validation: Declaration not found for element 'http://www.mycompany.com/xsd/PageTemplate:template'. Location: /*:template[1] Any ideas? Thanks,Thomas
I have a table of contact details containing the usual name, adresss etc fields.
I want to validate the fields Country and telephone together so that fopr example if country = 'UNITED KINGDOM' the telephone has to begin with +44 if it doesnt i want it to add the +44!
I can do this through writing a little program but just wanted to explore the possibility of doing this with SQL or functions already available with MSSQL Server
I need to make sure that a string contains at least one number, at least one letter and has no repeating chars. Anyone done something similar? What's the best way to do it? Thanks.
Can anybody help me to write a procedure to validate a given string like 09461020(Y2K compliant date), I need to check wether this is a valida date or not?? 0946 = should convert to 1946 10 = month 20 is the date.
If it is 20461020.....then year = 2046, month = 10 and day = 20..and it is valid.
procedure should return validate date or not ...return TRUE OR FALSE.
Is there a way in TSQL to validate a string to ensure it has only numbers or letters (no special characters like @,%, etc)?
I want to write a function that validates a number that should only contain letters and numbers. The function should return 1 if valid 0 if not. If it contains anything other than 0-9 or A-Z or a-z then it should return 0.
Any ideas on how to do this in TSQL? I could do this in C# easily with regular expressions, but I don't want to use SQLCLR or any other external resource like that...just straight TSQL.
I'm looking a cripts/code that will validate date in my form when the user key in date. The date has to be in the following format 00/00/0000 (month/ day/ year)
select * from empmaster emp.no fromdate todate ---------------------------------- E3/13/20074/7/2007 E4/13/20076/13/2007
i am going to pass some date for example 5/20/2007.
so i have to compare this 5/20/2007 which lies in between 3/13/20074/7/2007 or 4/13/20076/13/2007.if means i have to print not allowed other wise allowed. and the date should not be less(if 2/10/2007). like thi i have many from date and todate in my table. if i give 7/20/2007 means it should print allowed becos it doesnot falls in between any date o the emp.no=e. this should be depent on the emp.no also.
so please help me to do this.please show me query for this.or spc
Hi guys I am fairly new to t-sql. I am sure there are SPs or scripts that I can use to create a procedure that will do the data validation in the staging table...
Client send us data and often some of the records have bad values... what i have to create is a process that will check for those values and update a flag in the staging table for each column if the data is not valid....
Please help me out if you have something that can be used for this.
I am having trouble with the SSIS wizard results. The connections to source and destination test good, but when I execute a task to copy all tables from a hosted OLEDB to a local SQL native connection, I get this error:
Error 0xc0202049: Data Flow Task: Failure inserting into the read-only column "eventID". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0202045: Data Flow Task: Column metadata validation failed. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc004706b: Data Flow Task: "component "Destination - diary" (25)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc004700c: Data Flow Task: One or more component failed validation. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0024107: Data Flow Task: There were errors during task validation. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
The actual table that it is trying to write to is empty. What might I need to do, in order to correct the situation?
I have a package that runs fine in BIDS, however fails when run in a job with the following error: "The Validate method must succeed and indicate the result using an "out" parameter".
The task it is failing on is a third party FTP task that uses expressions for the filesource and filedestination and username. I have set delay validation on for this task, yet it still seems that it is trying to validate it.
I have one data flow task which creating a database table (tempTable) and other task will migrate data from other database into this table. Now I add third task which will read the data from this tempTable. If tempTable is not in the database, then validation will failed. Is there a way to turn off validation at runtime. In my case, my package running every night. I would like to delete this tempTable at end of package run. Now I have to pre create this temp table, and run package and leave the temptable around for the next run to pass validation problem.
Hi, I'm adding a field from a staging database into a mart database which is built using SSIS. I've added the field with relevant lookups (the field is called Business) but I am getting the following error from the Source Load Task:
Error 2 Validation error. DFT Load Vacancy: MI Stage Vacancy Source [1]: The output column "Business" (6336) on the non-error output has no corresponding output column on the error output. Vacancy.dtsx 0 0
The thing is, I've looked and it DOES have a corresponding output column on the error output. Is there something I'm missing here?
Hi, Anyone can help me on this? I am using MS SQL 2005 Express Edition. When I am installing my 3rd party software that needs to connect to the database, i get this error . Thanks.
Validation failed: 1. No mdb connection. 2. No Microsoft SQL server connection. 3. Microsoft SQL Server collation is not valid. 4. Microsoft SQL server authentication is not valid.
The thing that it is happening is that when i run a report without that CustBirth field i get an error stating that it cant convert the string "//" to date, of course it can't that is why i made the iif, how can i tell it to just try to execute the datediff when the field has the lenght bigger then 10 chars?
We run the same package day in and day out. So we want to turn off validation, which consumes around 30% of the package run time. Since the data source and destinations are known to be correct, we dont need validation and want to save this unnecessary step every time.

I created a XML SCHEMA and MESSAGE TYPE with VALIDATION = VALID_XML WITH SCHEMA COLLECTION.
I thought this would validate the message send with the schema. but when I try to send the message with a different xml, the message is send. there were no errors. Is there something I did not set?
Is it possible to create a server side or client side validation for parameter inputs? For example, I want a calender input to error when a user tries to put in a date past the current date time
I have an XML file and it's XSD file, when I use an other tool (Stylus studio) the XML file is valide and weelformed. But in SSIS using XML task using the same XSD and XML I get a "False", so the XMl file is not valide.
Being relatively new to SSIS, I'm looking for advice, or a best practice, regarding data validation before extracting the data for a transformation.
One of my project's require that certain data be validated in staging tables before it is loaded. The validations include checking for null values, verifying that a field is populated with apropriate values etc... The entire batch of data (good records and bad records) may be rejected depending on the validations.
I have a couple of different thoughts on how this could be handled...
Run a series of validation queries on the data before executing an SSIS package Run some kind of validation transformation (does one exist or should I write a custom transformation?) Place contraints on the target tables so that bad records error out on the load Something else... I could be missing the completely obvious
#3 doesn't seem to viable as the entire load may be rejected if some of the data is bad...
