Reading/Editing Excel In A Script Task
Apr 11, 2007Hey Guys,
Does anyone know how I can do this? I tried adding the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel reference to the script task but it doesn't allow me to. It only lets me pick from a selection of references that are already there (not allowing me to add new ones)
I do have this reference and have used it in VB and C# app's
If there is any other way to read an excel file please let me know, ill move onto that
Editing A SQL Server Table Via MS Access
May 3, 2000Hello!
We have a SQL Server table that needs to be maintained by the actuarial department. Therefore, I was going to have them make changes to the table using something easy like Microsoft Access 2000. When I go into Access and create an ODBC link to the table, I cannot change the data. (i.e. The insert new record feature is greyed out.) I CAN change the data via Enterprise Manager, so I don't think it is SQL Server security. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Sharon
SQL Server 2008 :: Migrate Contents Of Large Table From One DB To Another?
Mar 3, 2015I have a large table containing about 800 million rows with an average row length of about 1K. The columns in the table are char columns. I need to move the contents of this table into a similar table where the target columns are varchar. The original table column definitions are compatible with the target table but the reverse is not necessarily true. For example, one column is being changed from int to bigint. The table is partitioned.
So, what is the fastest way to migrate the data. I was thinking to unload each partition into a flat file and load the target table running multiple load streams? Is this a good way?
Checking Contents Of Column And Replacing Contents If First Character Is A Letter
Jun 25, 2007Hi All,I have come up against a wall which i cannot get over.I have an sql db where the date column is set as a varchar (i know, should have used datetime but this was done before my time and i've got to work with what is there). The majority of values are in the format dd/mm/yyyy. However, some values contain the word 'various'.I'm attempting to compare the date chosen on a c# .net page with the values in the db and also return all the 'various' values as well.I have accomplished casting the varchar to a datetime and then comparing to the selected date on the .net page. However, it errors when it comes across the 'various' entrant.Is there anyway to carry out a select statement comparing the start_date values in the db to the selected date on the .net page and also pull out all 'various' entrants at the same time without it erroring? i thought about replacing the 'various' to a date like '01/01/2010' so it doesn't stumble over the none recognised format, but am unsure of how to do it.This is how far i have got: casting the varchar column to datetime and comparing. SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE Cast(SUBSTRING(Start_Date,4,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Start_Date,1,2) + '/' +SUBSTRING(Start_Date,7,4) as datetime) '" + date + "'"Many thanks in advance!

Jan 23, 2007
Hi,
I am relatively new to this stuff.
I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express (9.00.1399.00)
Can someone tell me the way to get a table and its content to another database (I use two at webhosts4life)
Or perhaps a way to export the data of a table so I can do it at a later stage.
Is that at all possible with this program or do I have to use the non-express version?
Thanks in advance,

Looping Thru A Table And Updating The Contents
Nov 8, 2007Hello, Its hard trying to explain this.
I have 3 tables
Table 1 is where the users are stored, each user has a username and a userrank
Table 2 is where the points that decides the userrank are stored
Table 3 contains the available userranks like this
Table 1 (user_list) looks briefly like this:username nvarchar(20),userrank int, -- Reference to Table3 id... alot more fields
Table 2 (settings_profile) looks like this:username nvarchar(20),total_active_points int,... some more fields
Table 3 (data_ranks) looks like this:id int primary key auto inc,rankname nvarchar(20),min_pts int,max_pts int
Points get added to table 2 whenever they do something that generates points on the site. Points also get withdrawn every 7 days, so a user can only collect points for 7 days, on the 8th day, all points he earned on the 1st day is reduced from the current points with this code:
WHILE (SELECT @username = username, @id = id, @temp1 = ap_sentmails, @temp2 = ap_createdthreads, @temp3 = ap_createdanswers, @temp4 = ap_signguestbook, @temp5 = ap_blogcomment, @temp6 = ap_createblogentry, @temp7 = ap_profilefirsttime, @temp8 = ap_profilephoto, @temp9 = ap_activateguestbook, @temp10 = ap_addnewfriend, @temp11 = ap_superguruvote, @temp12 = ap_forumtopicvote, @temp13 = ap_labervote, @temp14 = ap_funstuffitemvote, @temp15 = ap_movievote, @temp16 = ap_actorvote, @temp17 = ap_money_new WHERE (created < Dateadd(dd, -7, @todaysdate))BEGINSET @sum = 0SET @sum = @temp1 + @temp2 + @temp3 + @temp4 + @temp5 + @temp6 + @temp7 + @temp8 + @temp9 + @temp10 + @temp11 + @temp12 + @temp13 + @temp14 + @temp15 + @temp16 + @temp17UPDATE settings_profile SET total_active_points = total_active_points - @sum WHERE (username = @username)DELETE FROM konto_daylist WHERE (id = @id)END
Now my question is this, i want to loop thru the table A, collect all usernames inside of it, then run it against table b and table c to determine the current rank of the user.Something like this...
DECLARE @username nvarchar(20)DECLARE @pts int, @rank int
...something that starts a loop thru table A (user_list) and get the username into @username...
SELECT @pts = total_active_points FROM settings_profile WHERE (username = @username)-- Determine the rank here, by compairing the points the user have against the pointstabel in table data_ranksSELECT @rank = id FROM data_ranks WHERE (pts_min => @pts AND pts_max < @pts)UPDATE user_list SET rank = @rank WHERE (username = @username)
...next persion in the loop...
This SP runs once a day and will first reduce the points from 8days ago, then it will run thru all the users and determine their new rank...
But how do i loop thru all the users? with a cursor?
Updating /replacing Contents Of The Table

where (customertype='r' and customer.comp_id ='11')
group by customer.cust_no, customer.company
select * from #Result where customerstatus='s';
after this i want to update/replace the #Result with whatever results I have from the select statment.

How DO I Generate A Table Of Contents For A Report??
Aug 28, 2006Hi!!!
Can anybody help me with the generation of Table of Contents for a report using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. Let me ellaborate. The scenerio is...i m having a report of lets say 500 pages grouped on employees, showing the performance of each employee between specific date range. Now if the manager prints the report of 500 pages he will be more intersted to jump directly to a perticular employee's page which means my printed report had to have a Table of Contents on my grouped criteria (which in this case is employee number). I would really appriciate if someone can suggest me a solution for this.
SQL Tools :: GUI For Editing Table Data?

Perform A Query That Will Merge Contents Of Various Table
Aug 27, 2012I am trying to perform a query in SQL that will merge the contents of various table, using search criteria to narrow down the results. All of the tables have the exact same fields, and the search criteria is the same for all of them. What I am looking for is the most efficient way to perform this. I am using SQL stored procedures, and passing the results into my code. Note that in my real-world scenario there are more than three tables.
1) Merge all the tables into one and then perform the search criteria:
SELECT a, b, c FROM
(SELECT a, b, c FROM Table1
UNION ALL
SELECT a, b, c FROM Table2
UNION ALL
SELECT a, b, c FROM Table3) AS MY_MERGE
WHERE {SEARCH CRITERIA}
2) Perform the search criteria on each table and merge the results
SELECT a, b, c FROM
(SELECT a, b, c FROM Table1 WHERE {SEARCH CRITERIA}
UNION ALL
SELECT a, b, c FROM Table2 WHERE {SEARCH CRITERIA}
UNION ALL
SELECT a, b, c FROM Table3 AS MY_MERGE WHERE {SEARCH CRITERIA})

Nov 8, 2006I have a real table with an identity column and a trigger to populate this column.
I need to import / massage data for data loads from a different format, so I have a temp table defined that contains only the columns that are represented in the data file so I can bulk insert.
I then alter this table to add all the other columns so that it reflects all the columns in the real table. I then populate all the values so that this contains the data I need.
I then want to insert into the real table pushing the data from the temp table, however this gives me errors stating that the query returned multiple rows.
I specified all the columns in the insert grouping as well as on the select from the temp table.
ANY thoughts / comments are appreciated. This is beginning to drive me nuts.

Reading And Writing To Same Table
Feb 16, 2008I need to select all the records in a table, loop through them one by one, calculating some new field data, and then write the new data back to the same table. Here is the basic structure of what I've come up with:<CODE>SqlCmd = SqlConn.CreateCommandSqlStatement = "SELECT ProductID, Name FROM tblProducts"SqlCmd.CommandText = SqlStatementSqlRdr = SqlCmd.ExecuteReaderIf SqlRdr.HasRows Then While SqlRdr.Read If SqlRdr.FieldCount > 0 Then ... SqlWriteCmd = SqlConn.CreateCommand SqlStatement = "UPDATE tblProducts SET Name = '" & NewName & "' WHERE ProductID = " & CStr(ProductID) SqlWriteCmd.CommandText = SqlStatement SqlWriteCmd.ExecuteNonQuery() SqlWriteCmd = Nothing End If End WhileEnd IfSqlRdr.Close()SqlCmd = Nothing </CODE>I get an error that tells me to close out the Reader before trying to execute the write query. But I can't close it out for the loop to work properly. So I assume that there must be another way to do this simple task, but I'm so new to all of this that I need some help! Thanks!

Jul 20, 2005I have some software (written in Delphi 5) which has been working forseveral months without a problem.I have been given a copy of the database on our development server(SQL 7) and have pointed the software to this. So, nothing has changedwith the software. In theory the servers should be the same.However, if I try to make a small change to any record (as I would onthe 'live' system), I get an error stating that another user isediting the record.

If I execute even a hard-coded variation likeDECLARE @sql nvarchar(MAX)SET @sql ='SELECT foo FROM foostable'sp_executesql @sqlI get: Incorrect syntax near 'sp_executesql'.If I runsp_executesql 'SELECT foo FROM foostable'I get: Procedure expects parameter '@statement' of type 'ntext/nchar/nvarchar'.which I understand, as it's omitting the N converter--so if I runsp_executesql N'SELECT foo FROM foostable'it's fine. I don't understand why the first version fails. Is it somesort of implicit conversion downgrading @sql? Every variation of CASTand CONVERT I use has no effect.This is SQL Server 2005 SP2.
