Remove ROOT Tags From SQL Task XML Results
Dec 19, 2007Hi All,
I'm currently using an Execute SQL Task to return XML data from a query into an SSIS string variable. In my FOR XML clause in SQL I'm specifying a certain name for my root tag, called "Accounts". This works great in Management Studio, however, the Execute SQL Task appends a <ROOT> and </ROOT> tag to the start and end of the string, so now it looks like:
<ROOT><Accounts>...all my elements...</Accounts></ROOT>
I'd like to remove the ROOT tags so that the <Accounts> tags are actually the root for this doc. What would be the best way to remove the ROOT tags from the SSIS string variable?
Thanks!
SQL Server 2012 :: How To Preserve Tags In Varchar Output
May 6, 2015I have following XQuery:
declare @xmldoc as xml

select @xmldoc.value('(/Text)[1]','varchar(max)')Result is: "This is firstlineThis is second lineThis is third line"
My problem is, that the <Break /> tags within the text are removed in the conversion to varchar. How to preserve the such tags in the varchar output? Or to get the <Break /> tags "translated" to e.g. CHAR(10)?
Exclude Html Tags From Full-text Index?
Oct 18, 2007I ran a CONTAINS query for the word "target" in a bunch of index web pages. I came up with lots of matches -- but they were all inside html tags:

Is there a good way to exclude tags (and their attributes) from the full-text index?
Thanks!

Full Text Search Indexing HTML - Does The Filter Expect Certain Tags To Be Present As Standard?
Jul 10, 2007Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...I
have a table which contains text resources for my application. The text
resources are multi-lingual so I've read that if I add a html language
indicator meta tag e.g.<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES">and
store the text in a varbinary column with a supporting Document Type
column containing ".html" of varchar(5) then the full text index
service should be intelligent about the language word breakers it
applies when indexing the text. (I hope this is correct technique for
best multi-lingual support in a single table?)However, when I come to query this data the results always return 0 rows (no errors are encountered). e.g.DECLARE @SearchWord nvarchar(256)SET @SearchWord = 'search' -- Yes, this word is definitely present in my resources.SELECT * FROM Resource WHERE CONTAINS(Document, @SearchWord)I'm a little puzzled as Full Text search is working fine on another table that employs an nvarchar column (just plain text, no html).Does the filter used for full text indexing of html expect certain tags to be present as standard? E.g. <html> and <body> tags? At present the data I have stored might look like this (no html or body wrapping tags):Example record 1 data: <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">Search for keywords:Example record 2 data: <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">Sorry no results were found for your search.etc.Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,Gavin.UPDATE: I have tried wrapping the text in more usual html tags and re-built the full text index but I still never get any rows returned for my query results. Example of content wrapping tried - <HTML><HEAD><META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN"></HEAD><BODY>Test text.</BODY></HTML>I've also tried stripping all html tags from the content and set the Document Type column = .txt but I still get no rows returned?!?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Replace Column With Another Column When It Does Not Exist
Jun 24, 2014I have a script that loops through a series of tables to send data to a table from each of the tables. My issue is that not all tables have the columns I need in them. What I would like is to replace the column with another column when it does not exist. Something like below
Select Misisng_Column(A.Name, replace with B.Name) as Name
FROM SomeTable A
Cross Join (Select Name FROM AnotherTable) B
AnotherTable has one record in it. To avoid a Cartesian issue. Like I said just an example
In my real script the table aliased as A is from a list of tables in a sys.tables query that loops through to the end.
Replace Column With A Calculated Column
Sep 12, 2007Hello Everyone,
I'm a newbie to SSIS. While experimenting with it I've encountered an issue which I'm hoping someone of you could help me out with. I have need to make a specific transformation which as output would have to produce rows with a new calculated column that replaces single column from input. New column has different data type than input column it is replacing. I've used Derived Column Transformation (DER) to do the first part of the work - appending new column and calculating its value (based solely on value from single original column that has to be replaced). Question is how should I do second part, task of removing no longer needed column from the pipeline? I've tried in DER instead of Derived Column being added as new column, selecting Replace 'column' but as it seems it is meant to replace only column data and not column data type (what I've expected). I've also tried using Copy Column Transformation (CPYC) but as it turns out CPYC transformation just (logically) duplicates data in the pipeline with optional different allias.
Replace Value Of ID Based On Name Column
Aug 14, 2012I have two tables with the following structure:
Table 1
---------
id | Name
---------
1 | John
2 | Debbie
3 | Kim
4 | Mary
Table 2
---------
id | Name
---------
654 | John
415 | Debbie
68 | Kim
289 | Mary
Table 2 id's values are all messed up and I need to replace them so that they look exactly like in Table one, my guess is that query will have to replace value of "Id" based on the "Name" column, I hope I made myself clear.
Replace A String Column With 'Y' Or 'N'
Nov 12, 2007Hi,
I am trying to replace a string column with 'Y' or 'N' in my SSRS report. I tried the following expressions, but no one works for me.
=IIf(Fields!ExpectedWords.Value Is Null, 'Y', 'N')
=IIf(Fields!ExpectedWords.Value = '', 'Y', 'N')
=IIf(IsDBNull(Fields!ExpectedWords.Value), 'Y', 'N')
Would you please tell me what's wrong? Your suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks alot.
How To Add/replace A Guid Column?
Jul 28, 2006I've searched through this forum, and am extremely disappointed that something as simple as this can't be done without resorting to a script component (which I refuse to do):
I have a Lookup transformation that returns a GUID value -- or not, so I've configured its error output to ignore failure. That should leave a NULL in the output column, and I should be able to chain a Derived Column transformation that replaces the Lookup output column (e.g. foo) with an expression like:
isnull(foo) ? newid() : foo
But there's no newid() function! Who was the genius that decided SSIS should implement different expressions than Transact SQL? Is there a workaround, like (DT_GUID)GETDATE()?
Or do I have to craft a SQL statement in the Lookup that guarantees a non-NULL result?
Updating Column Using Replace And SubStr?

Replace Column Value With MAX() Query In Dataflow Before Insert
Jun 2, 2006Hi,
We have a dataflow task that imports data from excel to a sql2005 database table. One of the columns is never filled in in the excel source. For updates we can use the lookup transformation to fill in that column, but for new values we need to calculate a new value for it (it's a PK) with MAX(column) +1 and replace the null value in the dataflow with this new value.
Just to be clear:
column id (int)
column name (string)
Based on the 'name' column, we can look up existing ids, and update these in the table. Ids that don't exist yet need to be filled in with the maximum value of the column + 1 (we can't use identity columns) and inserted in the table
Which transformation do I use to replace the value of the id column with this new id?
thanks,
Stephane

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Replace Multiple Characters With Single Character In A Column?
Jun 21, 2012I am trying to replace all special characters in a column with one special character.
Example:
Table: dbo.Employee
Column: Name
Name
-------
edwardneuman!"<]
mikemoreno)'>$:
JeffJensen"?>"
I am trying to get the namepart to the left of ANY special character. To achieve this, I am thinking of replacing all the special characters with a single special character so that I can find the first occurrence of that special character and grab left of the special character (SUBSTRING/CHARINDEX). This way I don't need to loop through all the special characters.
I am expecting the following results:
Name
-------
edwardneuman<<<<
mikemoreno<<<<<
JeffJensen<<<<
