This is a follow up to an earlier question. I'm having a heck of a time here. What I'm doing is reading a value into a SSIS variable and trying to evaluate it. I know the value is huge (over 4000 chars) and what I think should happen in my package isn't (I guess because this variable is so big).
What I WANTED to do is a straight character check:
@[User::xml_output] == "ABC"
but that wasn't working... so I deceided to try the len function.
However xml_output is too big and it's also not working. How would I check to see if the len is greater than 17 characters? Here is what I have so far...and none of it works.
I have a variable that I KNOW is = '<ROOT></ROOT>' and I've set up a precendence constraint to only go to the next step if the above not true, correct?
Do I need to convert the right side of the equation to a string or something first? Does anybody know that syntax off hand?
How would I do a select from a container using the previous container's starttime as a condition in the variable?
select publisher,publisher_db,subscriber,subscriber_db,article from msdb.dbo.sysreplicationalerts where error_id <> 0 and alert_error_code = 20574 and [time] >= " + @[System::ContainerStartTime] + "
What would be the correct syntax if I wanted to add the following lines into a variable using an expression? The lines should be the first two rows before my XML.
I have a variable that I'm storing in a database. The variable is a server name "servernamepub". When I watch this variable in the locals it becomes "servername\pub". Is there something going on in the expression/variable syntax which is changing this?
I would like to know how I can indicate a NULL value in a report expression in SSRS / Report Designer.
I am trying to code :
IIF(Value_A = 0, <NULL>, Value_A)
It may look weird but I am trying to return NULL values when Value_A is 0 (zero), in the sample scenario above.
I have tried using the keyword "NULL", but it is highlighted as a syntax error, and suggested to use System.DBNull. I tried it and then it says that components of the System collection cannot be used in an expression, so I am left drawing blanks.
One of my measures is in seconds and I would like to convert it to hours.
It is simply a number in decimal format
the expression I tried is this [Measures].[OPEN DURATION] /60
and I ge this message Error 1 Errors in the metadata manager. The measure expression of the OPEN DURATION measure contains the [(60)] operand , which could not be resolved. 0 0
All help is appreciated, thank you in advance. I have tried a couple different syntax's with no luck.
Hi, Please could someone assist - the above error occurs. This is my code: Protected Sub btnReport_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) ' Response.Redirect("CrystalreportTEST_Print.aspx?C_id=" & ddlCompany.SelectedValue) Dim myConnection As New OleDbConnection(connString) Dim Str As String = "SELECT clientid,company FROM Client WHERE company =" & ddlCompany.SelectedItem.Text Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand(Str, myConnection) Dim ds As New DataSet Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(cmd) da.Fill(ds) Label7.Text = ds.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("clientid") ' Response.Redirect("CrystalreportTEST_Print.aspx?C_id=" & ds.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("clientid")) End Sub Thank you in advance
Is it possible to do pattern matching against a string using FINDSTRING or similar in a derived column expression without recourse to including 3rd party regexp style plugins?
I want to seach for a reference in a string which will have the format ANNNNNAAA ie. an alpha with a certain value followed by 5 digits followed by three alphas with specific values.
I am a newbie to SSIS and looking for answer to a simple search/replace style question.
I am building a derived column and looking for some expression syntax that can search for several strings in one column and set a value in a new column.
A bit like a case statement:
CASE ProductLine WHEN 'R1' THEN 'Road' WHEN 'M1' THEN 'Mountain' WHEN 'T1' THEN 'Touring' WHEN 'S1' THEN 'Other sale items' ELSE 'Not for sale' END,
The twist is that 'R1','M1','T1','S1' could feature anywhere in the string that is ProductLine.
I am looking for some syntax to help me with a traditional search/replace style requirement. I am wanting to examine the contents of one column and populate another.
similar to this SQL case statement
CASE ProductLine WHEN 'R1' THEN 'Road' WHEN 'M1' THEN 'Mountain' WHEN 'T1' THEN 'Touring' WHEN 'S2' THEN 'Other sale items' ELSE 'Not for sale' END,
the twist is that R1, M1 etc. can appear anywhere in the ProductLine column.
This is nutty. I never got this error on my local machine. The only lower case m in the sql is by near the variable Ratingsum like in line 59.

However - I'm trying to deploy the package - and trying to use expression: @[User::DIR_WORKING] + "\Docs\Armls_Schema Updated 020107.xls" which causes the same error to occur

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.
I keep receiving the following error whenever I try and call this function to update my database.
The code was working before, all I added was an extra field to update.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'
Public Sub MasterList_Update(sender As Object, e As DataListCommandEventArgs)
Dim strProjectName, txtProjectDescription, intProjectID, strProjectState as String Dim intEstDuration, dtmCreationDate, strCreatedBy, strProjectLead, dtmEstCompletionDate as String
Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("connectionstring")) Dim cmdSQL As New SqlCommand(strSQL, myConnection)
Forgive the noob question, but i'm still learning SQL everyday and was wondering which of the following is faster? I'm just gonna post parts of the SELECT statement that i've made changes to:
INNER JOIN Facilities f ON e.Facility = f.FacilityID AND f.Name = @FacilityName
OR
WHERE f.Name = @FacilityName
My question is whether or not the query runs faster if i put the condition within the JOIN line as opposed to putting in the WHERE line? Both ways seems to return the same results but the time difference between methods is staggering? Putting the condition within the JOIN line makes the query run about 3 times faster?
Again, forgive my lack of understanding, but could someone agree or disagree and give me the cliff-notes version of why or why not?

how can you convert it to sql syntax
I need to have a nested If statment which I can't do in sql (in sql I have to have select and from Together for example ( I can't do this in sql): select ID, FName, LName if(SUBSTRING(FirstName, 1, 4)= 'Mike') Begin Replace(FirstNam,'Mike','MikeTest') if(SUBSTRING(LastName, 1, 4)= 'Kong') Begin Replace(LastNam,'Kong,'KongTest') if(SUBSTRING(Address, 1, 4)= '1245') Begin ......... End End
end
Case Statement might be the solution but i could not do it.
This is the error it gives me for my code and then it calls out line 102. Line 102 is my buildDD(sql, ddlPernames) When I comment out this line the error goes away, but what I don't get is this is the same way I build all of my dropdown boxes and they all work but this one. Could it not like something in my sql select statement. thanksPrivate Sub DDLUIC_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DDLUIC.SelectedIndexChanged Dim taskforceID As Byte = ddlTaskForce.SelectedValueDim uic As String = DDLUIC.SelectedValue sql = "select sidstrNAME_IND from CMS.dbo.tblSIDPERS where sidstrSSN_SM in (Select Case u.strSSN from tblAssignedPersonnel as u " _ & "where u.bitPresent = 1 and u.intUICID in (select intUICID from tblUIC where intTaskForceID = " & taskforceID & " and strUIC = '" & uic & "'))"ddlPerNames.Items.Add(New ListItem("", "0")) buildDD(sql, ddlPerNames)
well I have this code. I connect to database and submit data. now i dont know which expression to use to validate if data is submited redirect to next level else show some error. protected void Button1_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e) { SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"somecode"); SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand(); comm.Connection = con; comm.CommandText = "insertuser"; comm.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;some code... comm.Connection.Open(); comm.ExecuteNonQuery(); con.Close(); } i dont wanna validate the fields as i can do it using field validator i wanna check if data is inserted in database.

I need a statement like:UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = QuestionNumber +1 WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1 (Required output is clear from statement itself)
I tried with UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = EVAL(QuestionNumber +1) WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1 and UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = (QuestionNumber +1) WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1
I've just started working with SQL. Please suggest correct approach.
I have the following code in the expression builder for a ExecuteSQL Task in the Control Flow. "INSERT dbo.StgFileList SELECT ' " + @[User::MyFile] + " ' "
When I evaluate it, it renders as INSERT Staging.StgXMLFileList SELECT ' '
Is it possible to nest expressions within a script in a similar fashion to how they're nested within the expression editor?
I have a requirement to strip trailing digits from a string field, so that only two decimal places are left.
e.g. 1.12345 becomes 1.12 12345.6789 becomes 12345.67
I would do this in the expression editor but I need to use Script component because there are a multitude of conditions that need to be evaluated first which I will do inside a Select Case statement.
Hi, In ssis I would like to map a column from table a to a column in table b Currently this is how I am doing it using sql. I believe I have to use a derived column but not sure how to implement if statement inside it. Thanks
case
when len([Column 5]) = 0 then ''
when lower([Column 5]) = 'unknown' then ''
when isdate([Column 5]) = 1 then substring(ltrim([Column 5]), 1, 4) + substring(ltrim([Column 5]), 6, 2) + substring(ltrim([Column 5]), 9, 2)
The Value expression for the textbox €˜Name€™ uses an aggregate expression without a scope. A scope is required for all aggregates used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one data set....what does this mean...this an error that I have when i try and build my report i get this error for some reason...how do i fix this???
