Generate A Text File From SQL Server
Feb 23, 2006Hi
I need to generate a text file from SQL Server. The task automatically runs daily.
The format of the text file use "/" to separate the field and the row. At the end of the file, it adds number of char and uses "". The number of char includes the data parts and excludes a few word of "the number of char".
For example,
The underline fonts mean the first row record. The Bold fonts mean the second row record. The Italic fonts mean the third row record. The red fonts mean the number of char and the end of file.
1/060222/008888/234/1/7441/2/BB/10000//////290025/////1/060222/008888/234/1/7441/3/XX/100-//////290025/////1/060222/008881/234/1/7442/2/BB/10000//////290025/////161
I am no idea about this problem. Please give me some suggestions. Thanks a lot

I am moving a file to another folder after processing. I want to append the month, year and time. I have been able to append yr and month using this

How to append the time to this?

SQL 2012 :: How To Get Name And Timestamp Of File From A Directory
Mar 18, 2015I want to write a stored procedure or a simple T-SQL snippet that takes a parameter "Directory Path" and gives me the name and datetimestamp associated with each of the files within that directory. I can not use xp_cmdshell since it is not allowed. CLR integration is not enabled on the server either.
Is there any other way at all to achieve this directly from SQL Server using T-SQL?

View 1 Replies View RelatedRetrieving And Storing File Timestamp
Feb 20, 2006I have a package that processes a flat file, which is generated by a separate system each weekday around 3:30AM. I would like my package to store the timestamp of the input file and compare it to the timestamp of the next day's file. If they are the same, then the package can exit without reprocessing a particular file again.
So, my first question is whether a package variable can be updated so that its value will persist from one run to the next?
Second, what is the syntax to retrieve the file's timestamp, either directly from the file connection manager or within a script task?
Thanks,
Phil

Generate A Strong Name Key File
May 22, 2006I am a Newbie to programming and databases and would like to create a simple program for doing full text searching on a SQL database.
I have downloaded and installed Visual Basic 2005 Express, Web Developer 2005 Express, and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have watched several hours of video tutorials and done numerous tutorials. I feel I am making progress and having a lot of fun. My machine is running XP home edition.
I have found the following resource that looks like a good place for me to start with creating a full text search program:
€œSQL Server 2005 Books Online
Item Finder Sample
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms160844.aspx
However I am stuck at the beginning with trying to €œgenerate a strong name key file.€? I don€™t know how to €œopen a command prompt€? (I did confess to being a Newbie!!). I searched the database for this forum and found a relevant thread stating that €œSQLCMD is the command-line utility for SQL Server and is included with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.€? I found the SQLCMD program on my computer but when I opened it, it does appear to provide the options listed below in the tutorial (i.e., €œclick start,€? €œPoint to all programs,€? etc.).
Initially here is what I need based on the first section of the tutorial:
Building the Sample
If you have not already created a strong name key file, generate the key file using the following instructions.
To generate a strong name key file
Open a Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 command prompt. ClickStart, point toAll Programs, point toMicrosoft .NET Framework SDK 2.0, and then clickSDK Command Prompt.
-- or --
Open a Microsoft .NET Framework command prompt. ClickStart, point toAll Programs, point toMicrosoft .NET Framework SDK 2.0, and then clickSDK Command Prompt.
Use the change directory command (CD) to change the current directory of the command prompt window to the folder where the samples are installed.
Note:
To determine the folder where samples are located, click theStartbutton, point toAll Programs, point toMicrosoft SQL Server 2005, point toDocumentation and Tutorials, and then clickSamples Directory. If the default installation location was used, the samples are located in <system_drive>:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Samples.
At the command prompt, run the following command to generate the key file:
sn -k SampleKey.snk
Important:
For more information about the strong-name key pair, see "Security Briefs: Strong Names and Security in the .NET Framework" in the .NET Development Center on MSDN.
How do I complete this initial step of generating a strong name key file for the tutorial? I guess I am missing something simple and once I get past this I will be able to complete the tutorial. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It is mucheaser creating reports with you have data.Therefore, I would like to run the stored procedure that the .NET adodataset is built on and generate an XML file. I could run the projectand try to figure out where the developers are making the call to thestored procedure and insert a line to writetoxmlfile. I would rathernot have to mess with their code.Is there a way working with SQL Server (either query analyzer orenterprise manager, dts, or whatever) that I can generate an xml file.I see that I can run a stored procedure and get an xml style return inquery analyzer, but I don't know how to save that as an actual file.Thanks for the help.Tony

Flat File To Generate UTF8

By changing the properties of Flat-file connection I am able to create file with encoding as utf16 or western-European, but not UTF8. What may I be missing?

Please help me to generate flatfile with encoding as UTF8.
SSRS: Generate Report Without RDL File
Jan 23, 2007Hi all the good people here,
Can I generate a report without having RDL file physically at the server?
According to any "Generic Report Builder" logic, the report builder must stores the properties of Report in one form (RDL/XML) or the other (in database) and at the time of generating the "Report Output", builder must be reading those properties, assigning those to any class object's (say objRPT) properties/members and calling the method to generate the report in perticular file format.
I need a way where I can assign these values stored in the database (i.e. meta data of report is stored in database) to the objRPT directly. Can I do that.
I need this because I want to see whether I can switch from "Active Reports for .Net" to "SSRS" or not. I store all the meta data of the report into the database (including its control information, parameter mapping etc.) I have used Active Report's Events as well to show/hide controls/sections conditionally.
So in short as the metadata is in predefined-database, i don't want to bother with the RDL files. Can I do that?
Please help me with this.
