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!

Exporting Data/1st Three Lines NOT CSV..

Oct 3, 2005

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

Contiguous Data - Address Lines

Jun 1, 2007

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

Plotting Lines And Data Points On Scatter Chart

Oct 21, 2006

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

SQL Reporting Services 2005: Formatting One Cell With Several Lines Of Data

Feb 28, 2008

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?

Transact SQL :: Parse Unknown Number Of Data Elements To Multiple Lines

Jun 11, 2015

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.

Way To Escape From CURSOR

May 3, 2002

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

What Is The ESCAPE CHARACTER?

Nov 9, 2004

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.

Escape Sequence

Sep 1, 2004

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?

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.

Escape Sequences In Stored Procedures

Nov 8, 2007

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?

/ Forward Slash Escape Character?

Feb 19, 2008

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.

How To Make Escape Characters In Varchar

Jan 5, 2007

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.

Escape Character For /SET Option Of Dtexec

Jan 25, 2006

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?
