Copying An Ntext Cell From One Cell Into Another (destination Row Already Exists)
May 6, 2004Hi!
What I'd like to do is:
UPDATE table1
SET
A_TEXT_COLUMN = (SELECT another_text_column
FROM table2
WHERE table2_id = @precomputed_id_1)
WHERE table1_ID = @precomputed_id_2
Since the cells are text, this does not work. Since the cell to be updated is in an already exitant row, it's not possible to simply use insert.
I'd like to do something like (PSEUDOcode):
WRITETEXT(table1.A_TEXT_COLUMN, READTEXT(@textptr_initialised_to_point_at_target_c ell))
But the *actual* synatx of WRITETEXT and READTEXT seem totally inappropriate for any such trick...
Any hints or pointers HUGELY appreciated... THANX
Is There A Way To Do Mass Formatting Of Cells In A Table Instead Of Cell By Cell?
Oct 5, 2007
Hi,
I'm working with MRS and I've got a table with a lot of entries. For each value in the table I'm trying to get the text colour to be set to 'red' when the value of the cell is less than 0. Otherwise remain black.
I can do this by setting the colour property cell by cell. But I have a lot of cells in the table. Is there a way to set the statement to apply to ALL cells in the table?
Basically I'm asking if there is a way to set the property in bulk instead of going through tediously cell by cell.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Trimming Decimals
Aug 17, 2005I have a field in my SQL table that is defined Decimal(10,8), which
provides me with the ability to have up to 8 digits after the decimal
place, however, if I store a value such as 3.14, it is stored as
3.14000000. This is fine in the database, but it is the same when it's
returned. I have tried using Convert.ToDecimal on my returned row but
it doesn't work. The value at runtime appears as 3.14D in the locals
window but displays with all the insignifcant digits.
Any ideas what's happening or if there is an easy way to trim the trailing zeros?
Trimming A DateTime
Mar 16, 2004Hi,
Probably easy but I'd like the best way to do it:
I have a datetime column with A LOT of rows. I'd like a select statement to return each date with everything after the hour part set to zero.
For example, if my column has the following values:
2004-11-03 13:03:36.876
1999-02-17 01:56:12.126
Should return:
2004-11-03 13:00:00.000
1999-02-17 01:00:00.000
I know I can do this with a function and a couple of casts but there must be an easier (and faster) way!?!?
Thanks,
Skip.

Automatic Trimming Transformation
Mar 9, 2006I would love to see an automatic trimming transformation. We currently have 14 different ERP systems throughout our company and almost everything we do, when it comes to strings, requires trimming. Although doing it through the derived column task is somewhat easier, it is very time consuming and error proned, if you overlook a column or two.

Trimming Space In All Database Fields?
Nov 29, 2007I have an SQL 2000 database with several tables that are populated using various forms. One or more of the forms is causing the several fields to fill in with data input plus empty spaces to the right for the full character length assigned. Is there a routine or database feature in Visual Studio that can trim off all trailing spaces in all fields in a database table? Is there a compacting routine that might be called?
Thank you
SQL Trigger For Trimming String Fields

Cell Is Ready Only!!!
Apr 5, 2008Hello All, i am trying to create a normal ASP.NET application using VS2005. Yesterday i was adding tables.. entering data from within "View Table Data" tab, but today i am unable to do any data insertion or updating except by entering the insert or update statement by hand. When updating data of existing record or trying to add new data, it reports that "Cell is readonly!". I did not modify any settings or configuration and actually did nothing to set it to readonly! I am quite confused to be honest and writing sql statements by hand is kinda time consuming for me if i want to update a single field. What can i do to re-enable data modifications from VS2005 without reporting readonly? Thanks,Rakan

Feb 4, 2004SECURITY USING CELL-SECURITY:
From what i've read cell security s enforced on the client. If someone is able to gain access to a machine running the client (for example an application server or a web server) he is able to get cell values independently of the fact that those values will be defined as #N/A in the secured cell value property. The real value is travelling between theAnalysis Server and the application server. Is this true ? How can we effectively garantee true security ?

Cell Is Read Only

I changed the join type and did some modifications to the query in the query designer. Then I executed the query. Resutls are shown in query designer. But it says Cell is read only. Therefore when I change the tap from data to preview , I can not view the report.
This happens only when I use generic query builder.
Does anybody know how to change the read only option ?
