Can A Column Be Derived Using Substring But The Parameters Are A Result Of A Select Statement?
I have a table which has a field called Org. This field can be segmented from one to five segments based on a user defined delimiter and user defined segment length. Another table contains one row of data with the user defined delimiter and the start and length of each segment. e.g.
Table 1
Org
aaa:aaa:aa
aaa:aaa:ab
aaa:aab:aa
Table 2
delim
Seg1Start
Seg1Len
Seg2Start
Seg2Len
Seg3Start
Seg3Len
:
1
3
5
3
9
2
My objective is to use SSIS and derive three columns from the one column in Table 1 based on the positions defined in Table 2. Table 2 is a single row table. I thought perhaps I could use the substring function and nest the select statement in place of the parameters in the derived column data flow. I don't seem to be able to get this to work.
Any ideas? Can this be done in SSIS?
I'd really appreciate any insight that anyone might have.

Bill

Derived Column Based On Result Of Oracle Query
Hi, I need to create a derived column for each row in a SQL dataset. This derived column needs to be created by passing across two values from the SQL dataset and querying an Oracle table based on those parameters. If the Oracle query returns a record(s) then the derived column should be set to 1 otherwise leave it as default (0). One of these parameters needs to check a date range so I can't use a Lookup Transformation...any ideas how I can accomplish this ? Thanks

Derived Column From A Condition Statement
I've found that there is no such thing as a Case Statement in the Derived Column task in the data flow objects. I've written a ternary statement instead. I can't seem to get it to work exactly how I want it to. For example AccountCategory == "E" ? 1 : 2 Works fine but the following doesn't AccountCategory == "E" ? CreditAmount : DebitAmount The CreditAmount and DebitAmount Fields are spelled correctly, the field type of AccountCategory is String and the Field type of CreditAmount and DebitAmount is numeric, but that seems to be the same situation that I have in the first example that works. Am I missing something? I'd appreciate any advice anyone has to offer. Thanks, Bill

Aggregate Function For Select Statement Result?
Ok, for a bunch of cleanup that i am doing with one of my Portal Modules, i need to do some pretty wikid conversions from multi-view/stored procedure calls and put them in less spid calls. currently, we have a web graph that is hitting the sql server some 60+ times with data queries, and lets just say, thats not good. so far i have every bit of data that i need in a pretty complex sql call, now there is only one thing left to do. Problem: i need to call an aggregate count on the results of another aggregate function (sum) with a group by. *ex: select count(select sum(Sales) from ActSales Group by SalesDate) from ActSales This is seriously hurting me, because from everything i have tried, i keep getting an error at the second select in that statement. is there anotherway without using views or stored procedures to do this? i want to imbed this into my mega sql statement so i am only hitting the server up with one spid. thanks, Tom Anderson Software Engineer Custom Business Solutions

Controlling Fields In A Select Statement By Use Of Parameters

Select Statement Using Column Numbers
I have a number of lookup tables in my db. Each table typically has an ID column and a 'lookup values' column. I want to create a scalar function wherein, by supplying the table name and the ID, I want to retrieve the lookup value and vice-versa. I donot want to create seperate function for each table, which is easy. One function has to return values given the table name and the value of the ID or lookup value. The problem being faced is how to construct the select statement. An Execute statement created out of column names, retrieved with Col_Name(), is not useful as Execute statement is not permitted inside a a function.

How Do I Get The Actual Name Of A Column Or Table In A Sql Select Statement?
Hello fellow .net developers, In a website I'm working on I need to be able to put all of the user tables in a database in a dropdownlist. Another dropdownlist then will autopopulate itself with the names of all the columns from the table selected in the first dropdownlist. So, what I need to know is: is there a sql statement that can return this type of information? Example: Table Names in Database: Customers, Suppliers Columns in Customers Table: Name, Phone, Email, Address I click on the word "Customers" in the first dropdownlist. I then see the words "Name", "Phone", "Email", "Address" in the second dropdownlist. I'm sure you all know this (but I'll say it anyways): I could hardcode this stuff in my code behind file, but that would be really annoying and if the table structure changes I would have to revise my code on the webpage. So any ideas on how to do this the right way would be really cool. Thanks in advance, Robert

Dynamic Column Names In Select Statement
I have a quick question on SQL Server. Lets say I have table Order which has column names OrderId, CustomerName, OrderDate and NumberofItems.

I tried the following code through a stored procedure. declare @order_id nvarchar(10) select @order_id = 'OrderID' SELECT @order_id from Order. The code above gave me the string "OrderID" as many times as there were rows in the table but I could never get the actuall values in the OrderId column. Can you please send me some ideas or code where I can get values from the column names and at the same time change the column name dynamically.

Cast/Convert Mmddyy In String To New DB_DATETIMESTAMP Column In Derived Column Transformation
Hi, I have dates in "mmddyy" format coming from the sources and they are older dates of mid 80s like 082580 for instance. When I cast it this way (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) Source_Date , It says ok but throws a runtime error. When I hardcode a date in same format, (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) "082580" , It becomes red (an indication of syntax error) . Please note that we use double quotes in expressions in Derived Column Transformation; So an anticipation that using double quotes over single ones would be the syntax problem would be wrong. Any help in this will sincerely be appreciated. Thanks

Derived Column Usage When Column Does Not Exist In Source (but Exists In Destination)
Posted - 09/10/2007 : 15:53:26 Hey all - got a problem that seems like it would be simple (and probably is : ) I'm importing a csv file into a SQL 2005 table and would like to add 2 columns that exist in the table but not in the csv file. I need these 2 columns to contain the current month and year (columns are named CM and CY respectively). How do I go about adding this data to each row during the transformation? A derived column task? Script task? None of these seem to be able to do this for me. Here's a portion of the transformation script I was using to accomplish this when we were using SQL 2000 DTS jobs: '********************************************************************** ' Visual Basic Transformation Script '************************************************************************ ' Copy each source column to the destination column Function Main() DTSDestination("CM") = Month(Now) DTSDestination("CY") = Year(Now) DTSDestination("Comments") = DTSSource("Col031") DTSDestination("Manufacturer") = DTSSource("Col030") DTSDestination("Model") = DTSSource("Col029") DTSDestination("Last Check-in Date") = DTSSource("Col028") Main = DTSTransformStat_OK End Function *********************************************************** Hopefully this question isnt answered somewhere else, but I did a quick search and came up with nothing. I've actually tried to utilize the script component and the "Row" object, but the only properties I'm given with that are the ones from the source data. thanks in advance! jm

Using The ORDER BY Clause When The Ordered Column Is Not Needed In The SELECT Statement
Greetings, I have a C# application that calls a stored procedure to query the database (MSSQL 2005). I only have one field/column returned from the query but I need that column ordered. How do I use the ORDER BY clause without returning the index column which does the sorting? The first example is NOT what I want. I want something that works like the second example which only returns the 'Name' column. ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure] AS BEGIN SELECT DISTINCT A.Name, A.index FROM ... ... ORDER BY A.[Index], A.Name ASC END ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure] AS BEGIN SELECT DISTINCT A.Name FROM ... ... ORDER BY A.[Index] END Thanks

Select Statement That Will Output Related Rows With Different Column Data Per Row?
Is there a way to build a select statement that will output related rows with different column data per row? I want to return something like: rowtype| ID | value A | 123 | alpha B | 123 | beta C | 123 | delta A | 124 | some val B | 124 | some val 2 C | 124 | some val 3 etc... where for each ID, I have 3 rows that are associated with it and with different corresponding values. I'm thinking that I will have to build a temp table/cursor that will get all the ID data and then loop through it to insert each rowtype data into another temp table. i.e. each ID iteration will do something like: insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('A', 123, 'alpha') insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('B', 123, 'beta') insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('C', 123, 'delta') etc.. After my loop, I will just do a select * from #someTempTable Is there a better, more elegant way instead of using two temp tables? I am using MSSQL 2005

Random Selection From Table Variable In Subquery As A Column In Select Statement
Consider the below code: I am trying to find a way so that my select statement (which will actually be used to insert records) can randomly place values in the Source and Type columns that it selects from a list which in this case is records in a table variable. I dont really want to perform the insert inside a loop since the production version will work with millions of records. Anyone have any suggestions of how to change the subqueries that constitute these columns so that they are randomized? SET NOCOUNT ON Declare @RandomRecordCount as int, @Counter as int Select @RandomRecordCount = 1000 Declare @Type table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @Source table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @Users table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @NumericBase table (Number int not null) Set @Counter = 0 while @Counter < @RandomRecordCount begin Insert into @NumericBase(Number)Values(@Counter) set @Counter = @Counter + 1 end Insert into @Type(Name) Select 'Type: Buick' UNION ALL Select 'Type: Cadillac' UNION ALL Select 'Type: Chevrolet' UNION ALL Select 'Type: GMC' Insert into @Source(Name) Select 'Source: Japan' UNION ALL Select 'Source: China' UNION ALL Select 'Source: Spain' UNION ALL Select 'Source: India' UNION ALL Select 'Source: USA' Insert into @Users(Name) Select 'keith' UNION ALL Select 'kevin' UNION ALL Select 'chris' UNION ALL Select 'chad' UNION ALL Select 'brian' select 1 ProviderId, -- static value '' Identifier, '' ClassificationCode, (select TOP 1 Name from @Source order by newid()) Source, (select TOP 1 Name from @Type order by newid()) Type from @NumericBase SET NOCOUNT OFF

Add Values To A Column With Derived Column Expression?
Hi, how are you? I'm having a problem and I don't know if it can be solved with a derived column expression. This is the problem: We are looking data in a a sql database. We are writting the SQL result in a flat file. We need to transform data in one of the columns. For example: we can have 3 digits as value in a column but that column must be 10 digit length. So we have to complete all the missing digits with a zero. So, that column will have the original 3 digits and 7 zeros. How we can do that tranformation? We must do it from de the flat file or it can be a previous step? Thanks for any help you can give me. Regards, Beli

Check If Column Is Substring Of Another Column
I have two columns. policyNumber contains a 12-13 varchar string AllPolicyNumbersIncluded contains one or more 12-13 varchar strings (policy nums) seperated by commas I want to check if policyNumber is contained in AllPolicyNumbersIncluded? I have policyNumber LIKE AllPolicyNumbersIncluded which works when only one policy number is in AllPolicyNumbersIncluded and incidently works switched around AllPolicyNumbersIncluded LIKE policyNumber I assume because they are equal. Can anyone tell me how to check if one column's value is a substring of another - without going through every possible substring of the second
