Hi, I need help please.
I have text source & i need to write it to table field being an integer.
I complains about the column, so i added a derived column but I am clueless in the expression:
Source from text: 02/02/2008
Derived column expression to output: 20080202 in a int datatype
I need the expression to do it.
Please Assist!

While trying to solve a SQL challenge I found myself trying to understand what is happening when you CAST a INT to date time.
Trying to understand the results. Here are some random numbers and Castings. My question is why do they produce the datetimes they do?
SELECT CAST((1.1) AS DATETIME)
SELECT CAST((200) AS DATETIME)
SELECT CAST((15) AS DATETIME)
SELECT CAST((99.99999) AS DATETIME)
Hi,
How can I convert a 4-digit date(INT type) to datetime type....
I know we have to use an implicit conversion....but does anyone have an idea how to do the same..

Hey guys. I'll try to keep this as short as possible.
Was testing out some thresholds with a simple service broker application and ran into something interesting that I'm trying to find a workaround to. I setup a simple service on a single instance, and am transmitting messages to/from the same instance. I assigned a procedure to be activated on the queue, with a max of 20 parallel activations.
The procedure originally was reading messages off the queue by following a process with major steps outlined here:
Start loop until no more messages to process
Call get conv. group with 3000 timeout into variable x
If group retrieved, receive top 1 from queue where conv_group = x
If no group, exit
Process message(s) received (simply insert some of the msg data into user table, then waitfor 1 second to simulate doing some work) for the given group
Loop to get next group and messages
So, with this type of configuration, I sent off a few thousand messages to the queue and monitored the queue count, user table count, and activated tasks count. To my surprise, despite the fact that there were thousands of messages in the queue waiting to be processed, only a single task was processing data, pulling about 1 per second.
I tried over and over with different values in the waitfor, and no additional tasks got spun up until I had a waitfor of 6 seconds or more...then only about 3-4 would get spun up at any time in parallel.
Given the way activation occurs, I thought I'd try things without the call to get conv group, and instead simply use a receive without a where clause...so, I rewrote the activation procedure to skip the call to GET CONV GROUP, and simply perform a receive without any where clause. I also removed the waitfor delay and simply left it to process messages as fast as it could...
This time, I sent over the same number of messages and checked the same counts, this time noticing that within 20 seconds or so, all 20 parallel instances of the activation procedure were processing messages off the queue, and doing so very quickly. Same occured if I put the waitfor delay back in...
The problem is, that this type of coding doesn't allow for processing related messages, even though it seems to be much better at allowing parallel activations. I tried to rewrite again using 2 types of receive statements (first one without a where clause and next one with a where clause on the conv. group from the first receive after processing the message) to see if that would allow for better parallel activation, however that worked about the same as using the GET CONV GROUP call.
So, if I have an application that mostly does not make use of grouping and want to ensure optimal parallel activation when needed, however also handle the times when related messages arrive and need to be processed together, what can I do? Any ideas?
I have test code scripts that can reproduce this behavior if needed. Thanks up front,
I have created a phone list and am using a union to be able to display letter category. However, what I would like to do is only show the letter category if their is an employee with the corresponding last name.
For example, if someone does not have a last name starting with "Z", then "Z" should not show up on my report.

I have 2008 installed and have 'smoke tested' it (tried it on the several projects and don't appear to have any show stopper type issues). Anyways, I'd really like to remove VS 2005 if at all possible. My concern is what effect removing that is going to have one the following other installs:
SQL Server 2005 Express
SQL Management Studio (Enterprise NOT Express)
.NET Framework v2.0
If anyone can weight in on the effect uninstalling 2005 is going to have, or ways to 'safely' uninstall it without affecting any of the other installs, please let me know...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working to move an application from MySQL to SQL Server. The person who developed the MySQL application has little database experience, and took some shortcuts that the lax nature of MySQL allows. One query with which I am struggling looks something like this:
SELECT StartTime + Offset, min(Sensor), max(Sensor)
FROM SensorData
WHERE SensorID = @SensorID AND
StartTime + Offset > @BeginTime AND
StartTime + Offset < @EndTime
GROUP BY (StartTime + Offset) / 100
ORDER BY StartTime + Offset
What we are trying to accomplish is to return minimum and maximum sensor values over a number of periods between the BeginTime and EndTime. When I run this query in MySQL on a sample dataset, it returns a small number of rows, with each one being the min/max values for a portion of the overall period.
Under MS SQL Server 2008, SP3, I get the two following error messages:
Column 'SensorData.StartTime' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Column 'SensorData.Offset' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.

I am new to SQL and I haven't written any scripts in the past. I thought I would give it a go. Basically, I am trying to write a script that will check if a database has more than one log files, free the VLFs that belong to the secondary log files and then remove them. I created a database named rDb as this link suggests and followed the steps.

It works. However, I want to have to run just 1 script that will do the entire job. This is what I have gotten so far and it doesn't work:

I am developing the SSIS and stuck on copying specific files.
1. We receive CSV file to our drive on a daily basis.
2. The csv file name has the last 8 digits formatted with the yyyymmdd. For example, the file name might be abcdef_20150226.csv This means it will be our CSV file for today, Thursday, February 26, 2015.
3. There are a lot of files in this directory.

What we would like to do:
Add the constraints (or expression) that will copy the files from this directory to another directory that have the date equivalent to Monday only. For example, the file abcdef_20150226.csv will not be copied because it is Thursday file. But the abcdec_20150223 will be copied to a new Directory because it is Monday.

I am getting an error when running this query in SSRS- "an expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected , near ',' " on the following query in the WHERE clause section.
SELECT
MG_BL_ITINERARY.ETA_DT,
MG_BL_ITINERARY.TO_LOCATION_CD
FROM MG_BL_ITINERARY
[code]...
what I need to change in the WHERE clause to rectify this error ?
I have a Foreach loop that dynamically builds a query that gets submitted to a Progress 9.1d database. The "SELECT" portion of the query is static - the WHERE clause is built dynamically each pass through the for each loop. The vast majority of the columns have a dash ("-") in their names, so the query passed to progress has to have double quotes surrounding the column names. Not a big deal you would think. If I am retrieving 3 columns, my string would look like "SELECT ""manager-name"", ''"employee-name"", ""date-of-hire"" FROM PUB.EmployeeTable" - with the columns requiring quoted identifiers escaped with double quotes. My script task adds some additional info to the WHERE clause based on other conditions. Once my script task has built the query string, it assigns that string value to my Dts.Variables("SqlString") variable.
I can put a MsgBox() call in the Script task to display my query once it has been built (displaying Dts.Variables("SqlString").Value) - and it looks fine. Using the above example, it would simply be: SELECT "manager-name", "employee-name", "date-of-hire" FROM PUB.EmployeeTable.
So - My foreach loop is set up so that the query command is pulled from my Dts.Variables("SqlString") variable. It fails anytime my query has a column that requires quotes around it. I was confused, since I could take the exact query string displayed by my test MsgBox() and validate it's syntax against our Progress database (and even run it) and it worked fine.
So - I then inserted a breakpoint to break on PreExecute for the DataReader task (next task after Scrip task) to view the value of the Dts.Variables("SqlString") variable just before it gets assigned to the DataReader's Sql Command property. That's when I noticed that the value of the Dts.Variables("SqlString") in the Watch window actually showed that the "double" double quotes I had entered in the SELECT clause (to escape to one double quote) were being replaced with " (slash quote). SO - in the Watch window, my Dts.Variables("SqlString").Value reads as follows:
SELECT "manager-name", "employee-name","date-of-hire" FROM PUB.EmployeeTable.
Obviously, that query is not going to fly via SQL-92/ODBC connection to our Progress database. I've tried everything I can think of - even trying to replace "" with "" in the Foreach expression editor where the Sql Command of the data reader gets assigned. I'm at a total loss. Why would SSIS plug in what looks like C# character escaping syntax when all the expressions are supposed to be VB.NET? I've already successfully run several packages that query our Progress databases that do NOT use the double quotes in the SELECT clause and they work fine. Does anyone have any ideas??
I'm presented with a problem where I have a database table which must be migrated via a "custom tool", moving the data into a new table which has special character requirements that didn't exist in the source database. My data resides in an SQL Server 2008R2 instance.
I envision a one-time query which will loop through selected records and replace the offending characters with --, however I'm having trouble understanding how this works.
There are roughly 2500 records which meet the criteria of "contains bad characters", frequently containing multiple separate bad chars, and the table contains roughly 100000 rows.
Special Characters are defined as #%&*:<>?/{}|~ and ..
While the field is called "Filename" it isn't always so, it is a parent/child table where foldernames are also stored.
Example data:
Tablename = Items
ItemID Filename ListID
1 Badfile<2015>.docx 15
2 Goodfile.docx 15
3 MoreBad#.docx 15
4 Dog&Cat#17.pdf 15
5 John's "Special" Folder 16
The examples I'm finding are all oriented around SELECT statements, to change the output of what I see returned, however I'd rather just fix the entire column using an UPDATE. Initial testing using REPLACE fails because I don't always have a single character as the bad thing in a string.
In a better solution, I found an example using a User Defined Function to modify the output of a select, but I cannot use that UDF in an UPDATE.
My alternative is to learn enough C# to modify the "migration tool" to do this in-transit, but I know even less about C# than I do of SQL.
I gather I want to use @@ROWCOUNT to loop through the rows but I really can't put it all together in a cohesive way.
On the main BIDS menubar, there is a menu for Debug. Â If I select Debug > Delete All Breakpoints, any breakpoint in a script task is still there afterwards. Â Is there a way other than opening the script task and removing it there?

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
=Lookup(Fields!salesperson.Value,Fields!sales_person.Value,RunningValue(Fields!sales_amount.Value,
sum, " sales_person"),
"Largeappliances").
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.
