Altering Column Fields With A Stored Procedure
Jul 20, 2005I have some columns of data in SQL server that are of NVARCHAR(420)format but they are dates. The dates are in DD/MM/YY format. I want tobe able to convert them to our accounting system format which isYYYYMMDD. I know the format is strange but it will make things easierin the long run if all of the dates are the same when working betweenthe 2 different databases. Basically, I need to take a look at theyear portion (with a SUBSTRING function maybe) to see if it is greaterthan 50 (there will not be any dates that are less than 1950) and ifit is concatenate 19 with it (ex. 65 = 1965). Then, concatenate themonth and day from the rest to form the date we need in NUMERIC(8).So, a date of January 17, 2003 (currently in the format of 17/01/03)would become 20030117. In VB, the function I would write is somethinglike the following:/*Dim sCurrentDate as StringDim sMon as stringDim sDay as StringDim sYear as StringDim sNewDate as StringsCurrentDate = "17/01/03"sMon = Mid(sCurrentDate, 4, 2)sDay = Mid(sCurrentDate, 1, 2)sYear = Mid(sCurrentDate, 7, 2)If sYear < 50 ThensYear = "20" & sYearElseIf sYear > 50 ThensYear = "19" & sYearEnd ifsNewDate = sYear & sMon & sDay*/I was thinking of doing this in a Stored Procedure but am really rustywith SQL (it's been since college).The datatype would end up being NUMERIC(8). How I would write it if Inew how to write it would be: grab the column name prior to theprocedure, create a temp column, format the values, place them intothe temp column, delete the old column, and then rename the tempcolumn to the name of the column that I grabbed in the beginning ofthe procedure. Most likely this is the only way to do it but I have noidea how to go about it.

Get Column Length
Apr 9, 2008Hi,
I am creating a piece of code to create audit tables based on my current tables. I'm using the info in sysobjects to get this done, but I have one problem.
I can't seem to find the actual lenght of a column, I tried with the systypes.length, but that was obviously not what I needed. Does someone know how (or where) I can retrieve the length that I need?
thx in advance.
Column Length Help
Sep 4, 2007I have a table this is populated by a flat file. In the desc field from the flat file some of the data is very long up to 150 characters in length. I have to export this data after some transformations to a fixed width file. I need to check the length of the data in the desc field and any thing that is to long needs to be put in a desc2 field, however any values in desc that are shorter than 36 characters in length needs to have spaces padding it up to 36 characters as well as the desc2 field. Any help would be great. I am not the best T-SQL programmer in the world and have limited time to get this done.

Jul 11, 2007Hello Friends,
I am working on a web application and using Sql Server 2005 as a Databasew. I want to define a variable with the datatype as defined in the database. Let me give an example.
In my web say there is a field "First Name" and for that I had created a TextBox "txtFirstName" in code behind to get this value I have defined a variable
String getFirstName;
Now this variable has to be stored into the table "Person" into the column "FirstName" which is of type "nvarchar" and having length "20" So I want to get this length programatically so that I can assign this number (20) to the maxlength property of the textbox "txtFirstName" so that in future if the legth of the database column changes it should no be needed to change in code also.
Caqn it be done? If yes please let me know.
Thanks & RegardsGirish Nehte

Problem With WHERE Clause When Column Length &> 255
Mar 25, 2004Hello, I am using the JDCB-ODBC driver for my app, but one of the columns in my WHERE clause is 255 characters long. Because of this no rows are returned even though the statement should return 1 or 2 rows. I've tried other JDBC-ODBC drivers too and they have the same problem. Additionally, I've tried using RTrim(), Substring(), etc and it still will not work....any ideas? Is it a driver bug? Anyone know of a driver that will work?
Sample code....
ResultSet rs = dbRetrieve.getStatement().executeQuery( sql ) ;
if (rs.next()) {
// Never gets here
}
Thanx!

DataReader Output Column Length
Jan 19, 2007Hello,
I have an ODBC connection manager to a Progress database. In that database there is a column declared as a string of 10 characters long.
However, some data in this column is actually up to 15 characters long.
This makes my DataReader Source fail everytime I try to run my package because it sets the output column like this :
Datatype : Unicode string [DT_WSTR]
Length : 10
Is there any way to solve this without changing the datatype in the Progress database (that is beyond my control) ?

How To Access Output Column Length Within Script Component?
Mar 7, 2007My script component defines a (DT_WSTR, 450) output column named keyword. How can I access its length within the script, instead of hard-coding 450 as a constant?
My feeble attempts to tease this out through Visual Studio got me this far:
Output0Buffer.keyword.GetType.GetProperty("Length").GetValue(
but now I'm stuck. Also, if it matters, this is an asynchronous transformation component.
Thanks!
Reading A Text File With Fixed Length Column
May 11, 2008Hi,
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.
Thanks for all your help.
Regards,
Hadi Teo.
