Export Data To Csv: Escape New Lines?
Aug 3, 2004
Hi,
I need to convert from mssqlto Postgres and I need to export all MS-SQL table data to a CSV or TXT file (one file per table)
Presumably, all data per row (of a table) must be in one line.
Then when you copy to another database, a new line of data means a new row in the table.
However, MS SQL is exporting a large varchar text field as multiple lines. The data itself is many lines, so exporting it causes the data for one row to fall onto many lines.
My question: How do I escape new lines? When MS SQL exports the data, I want to replace all NEW LINES / carriage returns by /n or by <br> tag (since the data will be for web use).
(pls note I am not actually handling the ms sql database, so any response would be greatly appreciated as I advise the person in charge of the mssql db accordingly).
Thanks a lot!

I have a specific format that I need to export data to. The first three lines of the document MUST be in the form of:
ascii
,
klg, Eastern Daylight Time,1,1
PineGrove,0,2005/10/01,00:00,1,1.75,192
PineGrove,0,2005/10/01,00:05,1,1.75,192
Pinegrove,0,2005/10/01,00:10,1,1.75,192
If I set this up in DTS and do an export, it puts commas after ascii - which I cannot have.
I've also tried using two data sources and exporting twice (hoping to append), however, one just overwrites the other.
Anyone have any ideas?? :o
Thanks in advance,
Krista

Hi all,
I'm trying to join an Address table's columns:
ID, AddressLine1, AddressLine2, AddressLine3, ..., AddressLine7
into a contiguous layout. The issue is some fields are empty.
so I might have:
id ad1 ad2 ad3 ad4 ...
1 aa __ vv __
2 __ xx __ __
3 tt rr __ ee
I need to turn it into:
id ad1 ad2 ad3 ad4 ...
1 aa vv __ __
2 xx __ __ __
3 tt rr ee __
I've done this up with a cursor, a user defined function, but I need to do it up 2 other way. My mind is blank - any ideas would be great

I have a Site 2509CRUZ2 and SB1931 that have Multiple Contract ID's assigned to them in the table. Which are in 12 font below. I need to create a script to take these duplicates and place them in their own view but not delete them from the table.
Table is now.
CONTRACTID CUSTID SITEID

OTRC005086 HFBC00100 SB1931

I'm trying to produce a chart that has both actual data values from a database and matching "line of best fit" plots on the one chart. I have 4 data series, 2 of the actual data values and 2 that represent the values for the "line of best fit". What I want to do is:
Plot the actual values just as data points (joining them with lines in meaningless) and
Plot the "line of best fit" values as a line.
When I edit the data series on the scatter chart, I can see the "Plot data as line" option but it is "greyed" out.
Have I missed something really simple here or is this not possible. I'm using RS2005
Many thanks
Simon

Is it possible to format a single cell with many lines of data. For instance, if I wanted to list an entire address in one cell like this:
123 Main St.
Apt. 1
Austin, TX 78759
Would that be possible through some kind of special formatting? Maybe with <br /> or something like that?

We are using a table that may give 1 to and unknown number of data elements (ie. years) . How can we break this to show only three years in each row. Since we don't know the number years we really won't know the number of rows needed. Years are stored in their own table by line.
car make year1 year2 year3
A volare 1995 1996 1997
a volare 1997 1998 1999
b toyat 1965 1966 1968
We can pivot out the first X# but we don't know how many lines so we don't know how many rows we will be creating.

I am probably a bit of dumb programmer but I am trying to get away from using cursors in my SQL stored procedures. I probably have my VB program code set in my mind but what is the alternative of doing something like this in T-SQL:
do while not recordset.eof
if condition is ok then
update blah blah blah set something = recordset("field")
end if
recordset.movenext
Loop
Can someone give me an example in T-SQl which can achieve the same thing? (Apart from calling SQL stored procedure using ADO within VB?)
Thanks

Hi Ya'll,
I tried searching for "escape character", "quotes", etc, but they didn't work.
I'm having troubling inserting data into my tables, if they have an apostrophe or double quotes. I know that MySQL's escape character is "", but I tried it for MS SQL and it didn't work. HOW DO I INSERT DATA INTO MY DB THAT HAS AN APOSTROPHE OR DOUBLE QUOTE? Thanks.

Hi,
I have a question with this query -
SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE column1 = 'T_C_%';
This query returns rows where column1 = "T_Care", "T_CRP" etc etc, whereas I was expecting only rows where column1 = "T_C_Tail", "T_C_Head"
However, when I use an escape character(/), the results are more in the lines of the expected results.
Can somebody explain this?
cheers/- Pradeep

What should one pass as a field value into a table in the insertstatement if the value contained a percentage symbol (%) or theasterisk symbol (*), since both of these have special wildcardmeanings. What if I want to pass the special meanings and pass them asliterals? Is there any escape character that I must use? I am usingADO.NET v1.1 of the framework with VB.NET. The database is MicrosoftSQL Server 2000.

All,
What is the escape sequence in a stored procedure?
Here is what I'm trying to achieve:
ALTER PROCEDURE Test
(
@Func VarChar(1000)
)
AS
DECLARE @SQL VarChar(8000)
SELECT @SQL = 'SELECT DISTINCT TNAME FROM TABLE WHERE FUNC LIKE ' + @Func
Now, my goal is to add single quote (') before @Func and another one after that. For eg, if @Func is "Test", I want my query to be
SELECT DISTINCT TNAME FROM TABLE WHERE FUNC LIKE 'Test'
and NOT
SELECT DISTINCT TNAME FROM TABLE WHERE FUNC LIKE Test
Any help?

im having trouble getting this to work:
alter proc [ProGeneral_College_Structure] @Year nvarchar(4)
as
begin
DECLARE @SQLStatement nvarchar(1000)
Set @SQLStatement = 'SELECT School AS Level1Code, DIVISIONS.Div AS Level2Code,
DIVISIONS.ProgArea AS Level3Code, DIVISIONS.progName AS LevelName
, ' + SUBSTRING(@Year,1,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(@Year,3,2) + ' AS AcademicYearID FROM DIVISIONS
WHERE (((DIVISIONS.[' + @Year + '])=1))
ORDER BY DIVISIONS.School, DIVISIONS.Div, DIVISIONS.ProgArea'
EXEC(@SQLStatement)
end
It's something to do with the / concatenation I think, is it an escape character or something tried // obviously and CHAR(47).
before I get comments I know it's dynamic sql and it's not great but I can't edit the divisions table so have to use a dynamic column.

I am trying to use this:
INSERT INTO BizNames ( [Key], [Name] ) VALUES ( 0, 'Bob's Lumber' );
The apostrophe embedded in the name value is giving me headaches. I tried using double-quotes and [] to delineate the value but then I get complaints that a "Name" is not allowed in this context.
How do you turn the embedded characters into an escape character so they can be ignored by SQL Server and passed into the table field.

I have a problem setting some variables in a package using the /SET option of dtexec. Specifically when the value I want to set contains a semi-colon. I get an error like:
Argument ""Package.Variables[User::Delim].Properties[Value];^;"" for option "set" is not valid.
I am guessing that I will have to escape the semi-colons somehow, but with what?

Hi all,
It looks like these options are only available in the SQL Server Management Studio? I installed SQL Server Management Express Studio and I can't even find the DTSWizard.exe on my machine.
Can you please help how I can import data from excel or where can I download the SQL Server Management Studio?
Your prompt response is greatly appreciated.

SQL server 2005 shows the correct order, but Data in access table shows Incorrect data.
Please give me the solutions.
