Split Row's Columns Across Multiple Tables
Hello, Hoping someone here can help. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but I'm surprised not to see a data flow task in SSIS for splitting *columns* to different destinations. I see the Conditional Split task can be used to route a *row* one way or another, but what about columns of a single row? As a simple and somewhat contrived example, let's say I have a row with twelve fields and I'm importing the row into a normalized data structure. There are three target tables with a 1-to-1 relationship (that is, logically they are one table, but physically they are three tables, with one of them considered the "primary" table), and the twelve input fields can be mapped to four columns in each of the three tables. How do I "split" the columns? The best way I can see is to Multicast the row to three different OLE-DB Destinations, each of which inserts to one of the three target tables, only grabbing the four fields needed from the input row. Or should I feed the row through three successive OLE-DB Command tasks, each one inserting into the appropriate table? This would offer the advantage, theoretically, of allowing me to grab the identity-based surrogate primary key from the first of the three inserts in order to enable the two subsequent inserts. Thoughts? Thanks in advance, Dan

MS Access Detail Split Into Columns On Report
I would appreciate any help on this project. I have created an Access database that contains one vehicle. I have also included all options on that vehicle, which are in one column. Therefore the main criteria for the vehicle is listed each time for each different option. On my report I am grouping by the vin and placing the main criteria in the group header area of the report. The options are going into the detail section. How do I get the options to print in two columns within the detail section? I am unable to find any help on this subject, so I am asking you for help. Thank you all! Timpy

How Do I Split A Column Result By A Nonalphanumeric Character?
I have a column that returns client numbers. The client numbers are 4-6 characters in length. A period (.) is added to the end of the client number, and then one last digit (1-4) is affixed at the end to denote a categorization. In SQL, I need to figure out how to divide these results into two columns, one for the client number and one for the categorization number. EG: client #4334.1 would become 4334 for client # and 1 for categorization number or Client #424561.3 would become 424561 for Client # and 3 for categorization number. I have to strip out the period in the process and leave myself with just the numeric characters divided into two columns. Ive been researching my brains out on string queries and substring queries and I can't figure out how to parse out the period and/or to have SQL understand that I need everything BEFORE the period for one column and everything AFTER the period for the second. Is it possible to do this? I really need help on this one. Thank you :)

Comparing A Column List Split To A Table.
Let me see if I can explain my situation clearly.I have a table with the columns:answer_id, question_id, member_id, answer- answer_id is the primary key for the table.- question_id relates to another table with questions for a user. Thetable holds the question and the possible choices in a varchar fieldseparated by a delimiter.- member_id is self-explanatory- answer is a varchar field of all the choices the user selected,separated by a delimiter.Here is my problem.I am trying to search all members that have answered, say, question_id= 2 where they selected 'brown' as one of their choices.i can do this if they selected ONLY that item, but not multiple items.The problem is this portionanswer in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlist.....I need this to be something like....function_to_return_all_separated_answers(answer) in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlistThe current way, it is only returning members that have an answer'Brown', not 'Brown, Blue' in their answer field.

Need To Find An Easy Way To Split A Column In Table Without Using Cursor Or Temp Tables
Hi , I have two tables within a SQL database. The 1st table has an identified column and column which lists one of more email identifers for a second table, e.g. ID Email -- ---------- 1 AS1 AS11 2 AS2 AS3 AS4 AS5 3 AS6 AS7 The second table has a column which has an email identifier and another column which lists one email address for that particular identifier, e.g. ID EmailAddress --- ------------------ AS1 abcstu@emc.com AS2 abcstu2@emc.com AS3 abcstu3@emc.com AS4 abcstu4@em.com AS5 abcstu5@emc.com AS6 abcstu6@emc.com AS7 abcstu7@emc.com AS11 abcstu8@emc.com I need to create a stored procedure or function that: 1. Selects an Email from the first table, based on a valid ID, 2. Splits the Email field of the first table (using the space separator) so that there is an array of Emails and then, 3. Selects the relevant EmailAddress value from the second table, based on a valid Email stored in the array Is there any way that this can be done directly within SQL Server using a stored procedure/function without having to use cursors?

How Can I Set Constant Padding Between The Columns Of The Column Chart(stacked Column Sub-type)?
Hi All, I am working on a column chart type (stacked column sub-type) report. Our customer requires us that the space(padding) between the columns should be a constant(including the space between the Y-axis and the first column). I know how to set the width of the columns, but I really don't know how to set the width of the space between them. The columns just varies the space between them automatically according to the number of the columns (the number of the columns is not certain). Thanks a lot in advance! Danny

Display Multiple Columns Into One Column
My first ASP.NET/SQL project. I'm creating an Asset Management DB. I wish to view the Asset number, the full name of the user it's assigned to and the Make and Model of each record in the DB. However assets are split into different categories e.g. monitors, PCs, Preinters etc. and they are all in different tables. The SQL below displays the asset number, Name of person assigned and the model of the asset. SELECT Hardware.AssetNo, [User].FullName, MonitorModel.Model, PCModel.Model AS Expr1, PrinterModel.Model AS Expr2 FROM Hardware INNER JOIN [User] ON Hardware.UserID = [User].UserID INNER JOIN Model ON Hardware.ModelID = Model.ModelID LEFT OUTER JOIN MonitorModel ON Model.MonitorModelID = MonitorModel.MonitorModelID LEFT OUTER JOIN PCModel ON Model.PCModelID = PCModel.PCModelID LEFT OUTER JOIN PrinterModel ON Model.PrinterModelID = PrinterModel.PrinterModelID This outputs:- Asset number FullName Model Expr1 Expr2 00000 User Name Model NULL NULL 00001 User Name NULL Model NULL 00002 User Name NULL NULL Model However what i hope to acheive is output Model, Expr1, Expr2 into one column like so:- Asset number FullName Model 00000 User Name Model Can i do this in the SQL or do i have to do it in my ASP.NET (VB) Page?

I need to create a query that I can run that will allow me to essentially take the first initial and last name and combine them from two columns in one table and update one column with that new data in another table. Example of need: UPDATE tblLogin.UserName with (first character(tblEmployee.FName)+(tblEmployee.LName)) WHERE tblLogin.EmployeeID = tblEmployee.EmployeeID. That was TOTALLY pseudo code and I know I'll need a join statement in there somewhere. Both tables reside on the same database, such as this: dbEMPLOYEE (Database)--> tblLogin (Table)----> UserName (Column)--> tblEmployee (Table)----> FName (Column)----> LName (Column) Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Hopefully something soon - this was handed to me a few minutes ago and I have a few minutes to get it done.iSheahan

How To Update A Column With The Sum Of Two Columns In A Table
I have a simple question that is more about performance on my code for updating a column with the sum of two columns: Example Table = dbo.adding c1 c2 c3Sum 1 2 3 5 4 6 Now if I just simple write Update dbo.adding set c3SUM = c1 + c2 This works, but there is a null in c1 or c2 then I know I can write this: if exists (select * from dbo.adding where c1 is NULL) Update dbo.adding set c1 = '0', c3SUM = '0' + c2 where c1 is NULL if exists (select * from dbo.adding where c2 is NULL) Update dbo.adding set c2 = '0', equals = c1 + '0' where c2 is NULL Update dbo.adding set c3SUM = c1 + c2 This works as well, but I am not sure how perficient it is being that from my understanding the code will evaluate the table three times and update it based on the criteria. If the table consists of 100,000 rows then this might not be a good solution Is there a more proficient way to do this... I personally try to as little coding as possible to help increase performance. I know I can make this very complex and declare variables and put everything in a loop, but I personally think that would be less profient..

Transform One Varchar Column Into Many Bit Columns
Hi all, I'm new at this SSIS but have been able to successfully create some simple packages. My situation is that at work we use a column to describe a status of applications. However, this makes for hellacious query because some of those statuses inherintly were one or more statuses previously. Example Admit = Admit Accept = Admit then Accept Withdraw Accept = Admit, Accept, then Withdraw Decline = Admit then Decline As you can see inherintly those were all admits at one point. So what I'd like to do is instead of having long queries for example to get all my "Admits", I'd rather query another table that has the following columns as bits: Admit Accept Withdraw That way I can query the admit column and get all my admits. How can I use SSIS to transform my "Decision" column into those bit columns? Thanks for any help or suggestions you have.

How To Select All Columns Except One Column From A Table ?
Hi I can't figure out how to do this and hope you guys can give me a hint.... I want to select all columns from a table except one column: For example, A table has 20 columns : {1,2,3.....20} To select all of columns in a table, i could use select * from table; However, I want to select only column {1....19} I do not want to type the column names in one by one in the SQL query, is there a way to achieve this in a short form of Select? Thanks,

Returning Multiple Columns From One Db Column
How do I create a select query which returns multiple columns from one actual DB column? DB structure ID (int), photo (nvarchar(50)), name (nvarchar(50)) Sample data 1, 'photo1.jpg', 'john smith' 2, 'photo2.jpg', 'jane doe' 3, 'photo3.jpg', 'bob brown' 4, 'photo4.jpg', 'mary brown' 5, 'photo5.jpg', 'sue smith' 6, 'photo6.jpg', 'bob rogers' ... Required output pic_col_1, name_col_1, pic_col_2, name_col_2, pic_col_3, name_col_3 photo1.jpg, john smith, photo2.jpg, jane doe, photo3.jpg, bob brown photo4.jpg, mary brown, photo5.jpg, sue smith, photo6.jpg, bob rogers Normally, I would just query the data and have the client data loop over the dataset to create the required output, however in this application it is not an option... Thanks, Steve
