let's say I have a table named "myTable" in a SQL database:
UniqueID
FirstName
FamilyName
1
Elizabeth
Moore
2
Chris
Lee
2
Robert
McDonald's
I want to create a SQL query should contain a parameter for example:
SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE UniqueID = @TextBox OR FirstName = @TextBox OR FamilyName = @TextBox,
and when I type in my TextBox the ' * ' character, it should retrieve the whole table...
hope anybody understood, will be happy to explain more.
In my application I must store over 16000 character in a sql table field . When I split into more than 1 field it gives "unclosed quotation mark" message.
How can I store over 16000 characters to sql table field (only one field) with language specific characters?
Thanks
I’m getting ASCII characters in one column of my table. So I want to replace same column value in NON ASCII characters.
Note – values in column must be same
Here is my current Query. (IT's Wrong!)
--------------------------------------------------
UPDATE tblMain
set Measure1 = (select measure1
from tblBulkDump
where tblMain.reportID = tblBulkDump.reportID),
Measure2 = (select measure2
from tblBulkDump
where tblMain.reportID = tblBulkDump.reportID),
DataLocation = (select DataLocation
from tblBulkDump
where tblMain.reportID = tblBulkDump.reportID),
BudgetSource = (select BudgetSource
from tblBulkDump
where tblMain.reportID = tblBulkDump.reportID),
Comments = (select Comments
from tblBulkDump
where tblMain.reportID = tblBulkDump.reportID)
--------------------------------------------------
I need to write an Update for the given fields from the tblBulkDump Tabble.
Thanks in advance,

I 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!

My situation is:
For example i have txt file called serverlog.txt
txtfile contains:
serverid 3
Last log on 19/3/2007
Linkstatus OK
I have a table created with the following values
Table: serverlog
serverid(primarykey)
LastLogOn
LinkStatus
So my question is how do i get my txt file variables into the sql table.
Is there no import function in SQL?
Ive tried to do it with VB but thats doesnt work.

I have written several scripts to pull in nested info to the analyzer window. How do I get this data to write to the new table I have created in the database? here is the current script:
select Hierarchy_List.Hierarchy_Label as Hierarchy_Name,
Hierarchy_List.hierarchy_ID as Hierarchy_ID,
Hierarchy_List.Parent_ID as Parent_ID,
frequency_item.manufacturer as Motor_Make,
frequency_item.model as Frame
from hierarchy_list full outer join Frequency_item
ON HIERARCHY_LIST.HIERARCHY_ID = frequency_item.HIERARCHY_ID
where parent_id in (select hierarchy_id from hierarchy_list where parent_id in
(select hierarchy_id from hierarchy_list where parent_id in
(select hierarchy_id from hierarchy_list where parent_id in
(select hierarchy_id from hierarchy_list where parent_id=0)
and parent_id<>0) and parent_id<>0) and parent_id<>0)
and parent_id<>0 and frequency_item.description = 'motor'
I need to move this data to the VAER.Al_Machines and the column names are the same. I can move data via DTS, but it won't work on this because the nested info. Is there a script addendum I can add to this to execute both the search and the transfer in one job so I can automate it? Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I have a data flow task that performs an "upsert" by directing successful rows from a Lookup to an OLE DB Command that updates rows and unsuccessful rows (Lookup error output) to an OLE DB Destination for insertion.
The problem is that execution hangs when both tasks update/insert into the same table (execution is still hung after 20 minutes). Modifying the OLE DB Destination to insert into a different table succeeds (execution completese within 2 minutes). Replacing the OLE DB Destination with a Row Count transformation also works.
Could this be due to a table-locking issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks
ray
I have a series of tasks in a Sequence Container. One of them is a Data Flow task, and inside that task is a Row Count transformation that counts the number of rows I add to a table. The Row Count transformation was added to record the number of rows written to a table in a log table.
When I try to retrieve the resulting variable (RowCount) in the Data Flow task, I get the default value (0). When I try to retrieve it in a subsequent task, I get the value 1. When I try to consume it in the OnPostExecute Event Handler of the original Data Flow task, I get a value of NULL.
1) When is the appropriate time to call the variable assigned to a Row Count transformation so it can be written to a log table?
2) Is there a way during debugging to see the set value of the RowCount variable?

Thank you in advance for your posts.
I'm developing an application in VB 2005 Express using SQL 2005 Express. I need to put a timestamp into my table each time I create a row...
The following is a snippet...
Dim DDate As [SqlDateTime] = Now()
Dim TheQuery As String = "INSERT INTO Groups (PC_Name_Stamp, OperatorNo, Group_Type, Date_Time) VALUES ('Development', '2', 'Test',' " & DDate & " ')"
Which won't work as I am attempting to concatinate a SqlDateTime into a string.
My best guess is that I need to somehow to use a DEFAULT value in the table that persists so each time a row is created the datetime it was created is saved with the row, rather than being re-calculated each time the table is opened. There are probably several other ways of doing it and this may not be the easiest.
I'm not a programmer, just an Engineer, so I can only read Help for 5 minutes at a time.
First of all let me say that ASP.NET a new programming environment for me so please forgive my ignorance.
Can someone please tell me how to write data to a SQL table that is a Binary data type? I have a stored procedure on the SQL server that I am calling to insert data into a table. I build a parameter list and set the values. It worked just fine before I added a binary field to the SQL table. My problem is that I don't know how to set the Binay data type to pass it to the stored procedure. Here is part of the code:
GetCMD = Myconnection.CreateCommand
GetCMD.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
GetCMD.CommandText = "SCHEMANAME.InsertLineItem"
GetCMD.Parameters.Add("HEADER_ID", SqlDbType.VarChar, 150)
GetCMD.Parameters("HEADER_ID").Value = "some value"
GetCMD.Parameters.Add("@OPTIONS", SqlDbType.Binary)
GetCMD.Parameters("@OPTIONS").Value = HOW DO I SET THIS VALUE????
rowsaffected = GetCMD.ExecuteNonQuery()
I assume serialization but have not figured out how. Anyone's help is greatly appreciated!!
I am working on building a template/design pattern for a DTS to SSIS upgrade project.
During our ETL processing, if we encounter a record that cannot be inserted into a destination table, we'd like to be able to write the entire record out to a common error/reject table. The obvious problem is that every SSIS package that is using this template will of course be dealing with varying table schemas.
I was thinking that if there were a way that I could transform the error record/buffer row into XML, I could then achieve my goal of having a common table to receive errors/rejects.
Has anyone done something like this, or have suggestions on how we might accomplish?
Hi,
I have a problem when updating tables in a SQL Server 2000. I am able to make a select form tables but I can't insert data. I got this error :
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request.

SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:
I've a table with more columns and 1 identifier. I need to write this table when a modified row is detecting respect to the columns not to the identifier.
So I've created a temporary table to put the potential rows to write on the real table, but I want to detect the modified rows. I've thought to use the checksum function, but I don't know how to use it and if it could be useful in this scenario.
Moreover, in the temporary table I've collected daily the rows to write: the first day a row could have a value respect to his columns, the next day a different value and the next one the same value respect to the first day.
Is there a way I can write a query to dynamically select a database table. That is, instead of having a variable for a certain column like customerId which would be €œcustomerID = @customerID€? I want to use the variable to select the table. I assume I may have to use a stored procedure but I am unclear as to how this would be coded.
Thanks
writing a cross join query with one table:
Cities(City_name, X_coordinate, Y_coordinate)
the result should be all combinations without reverse column returns
SELECT * FROM [dbo].[Cities] as P1
Cross JOIN [dbo].[cities] as p2
where (p1.City_name != p2.City_name) and ???
for example if there are three Cities as A,B,C the result should be: A->B, A->C, B->C (without the returns B->A, C->A, C->B)
I am developing an application in vb.net 2005 using SQL Server 2000.
In this I have two tables SessionMaster and SessionChild.
Fields of session master - SessionMastId, Start_Date, End_Date, Session_Type,
Fields of session child - SessionChildId, SessionMastId, UserName, Comment.
SessionMastId and SessionChildId are primary keys of respective tables and also they are auto increment fields.
Please how to write trigger to insert record into both tables at a time.
I am using a foreach loop, with the data from an ado recordset, which contains the table name that I wish to write data to an OLEDB data dest. The table names are retrieved from an execute sql task in the an object var. Within the foreach loop, for each table name, I then use a datareader to an ado.net source to pull data from that table, via an expression construct into a variable - i.e. "select * from " + @[User::table_name]. This works fine for the first table, in which mappings are setup using the SSIS design environment. The data is retrieved. I then use a variable and set the data access mode for the oledb destination to "Table name or view name variable". This also saves data fine for the first table in the loop in the oledb dest. When the next table name is retrieved from the ado provider in the foreach loop, the datareader fails, as it still thinks the metadata mappings are from the first table, which was used for the mapping in the design environment. I.E. FIN_CLASS is a column from the first table in the loop.
Error: 0xC0202005 at Data Flow Task, DataReader Source [7181]: Column "FIN_CLASS" cannot be found at the datasource.
I have set the following properties, that I thought (in my feeble mind), are supposed to avoid that behavior. For the datareader, I set ValidateExternalMetadata to false, and for the data flow task (container for the datareader), I set DelayValidation to true. These settings, according to the doc, are supposed to evaluate metadata for the datareader source at runtime (not design time), so that the column metadata is dynamic, and so that the subsequent oledb destination can use the "data access mode" for the oledb destination of "Table name or view name variable".
If I cannot get this to work, I have 2 options: Use OPENQUERY via dynamic t-sql statements, OR create 30 separate flows in SSIS - one for each table - not looking forward to that one.

i'm trying to figure out a way to replace a handful of "Illegal" characters in our SQL tables. We are using Project Server and some of these characters are causing errors or other issues in OLAP Cube.
I'm trying to figure out a way to change the following characters to an underscore ( _ ) :
illegal characters are: / ( ) . , ' : - &
Can I just create a SQL query that loops through a column to replace all of these characters at once? or do I have to replace one character at a time?! I tested replacing one at a time and it works with the REPLACE function.
I'm not all that familiar with MSSQL, I've spent past few years working with MySQL instead.
how can my query loop? or would using CASE help me out?
thanks. any feedback is much appreciated. If you need to know more, let me know.
regards

hello everyone,
i have few fields that contain foreign characters with diacritic marks which are not getting imported correctly.
below is the import format:
- File type: ASCII
- Row delimiter: carriage return and line feed {CR/LF}
- Column delimiter: Tab
- Text qualifier: None
Please advice.
Here is the errors i'm getting:

Can any one help me, i'm building a dynamic database driven site using dreamweaver and MS SQL2000 andi'm haveing problem storing over 8000 characters in a table filed (IE: it wont let me!!) is there a special table field value that i need to set to get more characters in a table field or is this a limitation of SQL.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
Regards

I am using SQL Server 2008. In one of my table, one column has values like
"MFY RLHH CSQÉ"
"Aamj Gxmolwn Slf Yytrzgan Hiwd Fnlmyw"
So to fetch the data having only special characters in it, I used below query
Select * From Table Where Column Like '%[^0-9a-zA-Z]%' Escape ' '. Its returning both the records. Here I would like to fetch records for those Unicode characters only which are not within 00201 - 0070E [URL].
I want to create a function that searches for allowed characters within a table range (that contains the allowed characters) and replace any characters outside this range with a space.
For example -
'Bill123?', 'Jones12.z-'
'John&12/', 'QWERT123&4'
Wanted results – the single quotes are there to show the space for the replaced characters.
'Bill123 '
'Jones12.z '
'John&12 '
'QWERT123 4'
Example SQL data
CREATE TABLE [Common].[AllowedCharacters] (
[Character] [varchar](1) NOT NULL,
[Replacement] [varchar](10) NULL,
[AlwaysInclude] [bit] NOT NULL)
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
[code]....
The function will wrap around the column names and I know it can be done without a table validate the characters but it must be done this way.
I have a table that is riddled with weird characters. So far I have found an escape character for PDF files and a trademark sign. These characters are crashing my SSIS packages. I am able to remove these characters with an update script...
Update TABLE
set LEAD_NOTES__C = Replace(LEAD_NOTES__C, nchar(65533) COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN2, '!');
Update TABLE
set LEAD_NOTES__C = Replace(LEAD_NOTES__C, nchar(1671) COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN2, '!');
This works fine, but my question is...
I would like to write a script that removes all foreign characters with the exception of the normal characters like (@,#,$,%,etc). I need a dynamic process that handles this so I am not losing time sifting through over 20,000 rows of data and changing my update script to remove a specific column. Although this method works, I would prefer a dynamic query. I intend to wrap this in a stored procedure that loops through all columns in a table (as parameter).
