How To Change Text On Web Automatically From Reading A SQL Server?
Jun 17, 2004
A section of this company's intranet site where I just started interning at has little company anniversary and birthday sections that look like (for the anniversary section.. in the birthday section, it looks the same, except it doesn't say how old the comployee is):
-Steve Cunningham 6/1 - 6 yrs
-Andrew Brown 6/3 - 11yrs
-Lisa Stone 6/4 - 3 yrs
How can I get it so instead of manually changing that text every month, it will look at a SQL database and automatically change that text every month? I'm guessing the pseudocode would be if the b-day or anniv. month matches the current month, display the first and last name, the date, and number of years (which would have to be calculated maybe?) Any help would be GREAT! Thanks!!
Hi All, I Need to load the text(CSV) files into sql server using text reader. Please can any one give me the code for that. I want read that file in web page only. I can't use Bulk Insert. First I will read the file into data set. Then i wanna update that in sql server table. Thank you,
How can I automatically change records by a specific date specified inside the record. An example would be the way ebay sales work. How does ebay have the status of an item change to closed, at the time inside the item record of the database.
I know i could use triggers or something to check the current date against the enddate everytime the record is accessed, but is there a more efficient method?
I am still having problem with making View automatically updates itself when the underlying table schema changes. Running sp_recompile on the view table doesn't seem to work either, as I am still getting old format from the view (in Design mode the view returns the right info, but not when I open the View by doing Open View) even though the underlying schema has changed. Right now I find that I have to go into the View and change it a bit to force a recompilation.
And even if sp_recompile does, it would require that I manually do it each time I change a table. Any idea?
I have a data column named Date_In with format of 20-May-13. How can I filter the data to select based on year only. I used
Select * From apps.xdmc_852@erpprod Where Year(Date_in) = 2014
This code is not working. I also need a way to automatically update to next week range. For example, last week I used where function like this
Where Date_in = to_date('01/12/2014','MM/DD/YYYY')
Is there a way it will automatically at the next 7 days to the code above when the date is available. This week I have to go back and changed the code in to this:
Where Date_in = to_date('01/19/2014','MM/DD/YYYY')
I found one database in availability group state change automatically. I found ERR started at

And I use google to search and found the link below. It indicated a network issue. Is it the source of the problem. By the way, My failure Condition Level is 1 and I have increased Health Check Timeout from 30,000ms to 150,000ms just now. [URL] ...

Is there anyway Sql Server reads a "Tab Delimited Text File" and Compare each record with the Column in a table..
my question is..
I've a Country_Code table which has 3 letter Country Code and the Actual Country names are listed in a Tab Delimited Text File "Country Data" with Country Code and Country Name, how do i read each record and compare to get the Actual Country Name for Display.
I have text output files which are semi-structured.(Headers + irregular length tables below)
Is there a simple method of getting them into sql format(line by line) to try and extract data from them?
I know this won't be easy but its been worrying me for a long time. I have a method of importing the data into excel, but although difficult, it must be possible to get a system to get it into sql server. This must be a fairly common issue.
Hi everyone I have a directory that contains a lot of text files that have data I need to draw from. I want to know if it is possible to write a program that will read all of the text files in the directory and pull out data and save it to a new textfile. For example: Each text file is formatted this wayColumn1, Column2, Column3"1","xxxx","yyyy""2", "xxxx", "yyyy""3", "XXXX", "yyyy" I want to put all lines that begin with 1 in one text file, all the lines that begin with two in another text file, and the same with all lines that begin with 3. my problem is I want to be able to point at the folder that contains those files and have it read every text file in the folder and perform the operation. If this is possible can someone point me in the right direction on how to get started.Thank you for any help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How would I be able to query a table (ie. all people with last name 'Smith'), have that set of data outputted to a regular text file (in a formatted way)
And what's the best way to manipulate that set of data to let's say update a Yes/No field in that table to mark that that those individuals('Smith') which were outputted in that text file?
What about the reverse? If I got a regular text file with Last Name, Social Security(delimited by tab), etc is there a way I can get SQL Server to read that text file and make an update to the database based on the Social security in that text file.
Hi€¦ During my web search looking for a solution I ran across SQL CE 3.5 articles. My questions about SQL CE 3.5 are: 1) Can SQL CE 3.5 handle a 4 €“ 6 GB file - Read - Parse (SQL) 2) Can SQL CE 3.5 act as a standalone client that a user can view a large (4-6 GB) text file? - Will I need a .NET (small) client to read the large (4-6 GB) text file? More info: The text file will reside on the machine where the SQL CE 3.5 is installed. There is no pull to get the data.
I'm wondering if there is any way to get SSIS to notice, in the Flat File Source, that a "Ragged right" text input file has a record that is too short to populate all the specified columns.
I am reading data from a file that is supposed to be fixed length records, but record 193,591 (out of approx. 500,000) is 20 bytes short of the fixed length (60 bytes). So I changed the input to "ragged right" and found that I can thereby continue to read the file, and load the data (after setting the "maximum errors" to a number greater than the initial "1"). (Without this change to "ragged right", every record after the bad one was "out of synch" with the column arrangement -- so they never made it into the database table destination.)
But the "failures" I am now getting are during the Data Conversion step, when I try to convert some columns to integers (from text, in the input stream). And by looking at the data with a "Redirect Row" setting for the Data Conversion step, I am able to see that the Flat File Source is reading "right past the end of the row."
Is there a way to get the Flat File Source to honor the CR-LF record terminator, and decide that some text columns should contain "nothing" (NULL or zero-length strings), rather than the bytes that contain the CR-LF and the initial text from the next record? Can this somehow be noticed as an error condition?
I'm trying to read in a text file, fixed width, very long records (over 7000 characters) in an ssis package. The first record appears ok in the 'preview' in the connection manager setup, but each record after that is offset by 2 characters (record 2 offset by 2, record 3 offset by 4, record 4 offset by 6 and so on), like it's inserting special characters.
We have an interface where we receive data from an external supplier. One of the fields in the interface is of type BLOB (the source is an Oracle database), which would be read into our MSSQL database as image. This can also be converted to varbinary, and a typical field value looks something like:
0x70697A5F8F000000789C0DCCBD0DC2301....etc. etc.
However, we know that the origin only contains text, and we even know the text from the GUI they supply us with. The text could typically be "Delayed by 3 minutes because of water damage" or something like that.
What I want to do, is to extract that text from the field.
First, I have stored the incoming data stream in a table, where one column is of type varbinary(max). It looks like this goes swell. But I don't know which command to use in order to get the text extracted.
I have tried these:
1) select master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr(Myfield) from Mytable -> Returns just the text "0x70697A5F8...." which I have no interest in
2) select cast(Myfield as varchar(max)) from Mytable -> Returns just Chinese signs.
3) select cast(Myfield as nvarchar(max)) from Mytable -> Returns just Chinese signs.
4) declare @ptrval varbinary(16) select @ptrval = TEXTPTR(MyField) from MyTable  -- with MyField defined as image READTEXT MyTable.MyField @ptrval 1 30 -> Returns just the text "0x697A5F8...." which I have no interest in
Of course, since only text is stored in this field, the field should never have been defined as BLOB in the first place. But the source system is external, and it's a standard system, so we may not alter it in any way.
I would like to read from a Text File using SSIS Integration Package.
The file has a fixed number of columns, let's say 3 columns. There is no row header and each columns length is fixed. There is no delimiter as well.
Here is the sample of the file contents: John Doe USA Mary Monroe UK Andy Archibald Singapore
Here is the hints to read the file contents 123456789 0123456789 0123456789 ============================== John Doe USA Mary Monroe UK Andy Archibald Singapore
If you notice, from the 1st column until the 9th column, it's reserved for the first name. The 10-th column until the 19th column, it's reserved for the last name. Finally the 20-th column until the 29th column is reserved for the Origin Country.
Since there's no delimiter inside the flat file contents, i have difficulty in parsing this text using SSIS Package.
Please let me know if you need any necessary information.
I have a report I am creating in sql reporting services 2005 and what I am trying to do is have a single text box with multiple lines of data format each item in the textbox to specific parameters but I have not been able to figure it out. I tried to format my data on the sql side so that it cam out as follows:
tried Monday, Nov. 26, 2007 "Color = Blue FontWeight = Bold " & John Doe & CHAR(9) & "Color = Red FontWeight = Normal " & Jane Smith & CHAR(9) & "Color = Black FontWeight = Bold" John Roberts This did not work
so then I tried Monday, Nov. 26, 2007 "FontColor = Blue FontWeight = Bold " & John Doe & CHAR(9) & "FontColor = Red FontWeight = Normal " & Jane Smith & CHAR(9) & "FontColor = Black FontWeight = Bold" John Roberts
Still did not work What my end result needs to be in a single text box... Monday, Nov. 26, 2007 John Doe Jane Smith John Roberts
If anyone has the answer thanks ahead of time. Mike
If i am using SqlCommand Class and the CommandType of it is Text, then will it add "sp_executesql N" in front of the sql command automatically in fact, just like SqlDataAdapter?
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SomeTable]( [key] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [keywords] [nvarchar](255) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [PK_SomeTable] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

I have a DTSX package which reads values from a fixed-length text file using a data reader and writes some of the column values from the file to an Oracle table. We have used this DTSX several times without incident but recently the process started inserting NULL values for some of the columns when there was a valid value in the source file. If we extract some of the rows from the source file into a smaller file (i.e 10 rows which incorrectly returned NULLs) and run them through the same package they write the correct values to the table, but running the complete file again results in the NULL values error. As well, if we rerun the same file multiple times the incidence of NULL values varies slightly and does not always seem to impact the same rows. I tried outputting data to a log file to see if I can determine what happens and no error messages are returned but it seems to be the case that the NULL values occur after pulling in the data via a Data Reader. Has anyone seen anything like this before or does anyone have a suggestion on how to try and get some additional debugging information around this error?
Please, i have a big db with a "VarChar" field (8000 char) and now i need more "space". I can use "Text" but how i can convert all my data? If i try to change from the Enterprise Manager i loose all data!!!!
