Is it possible to retain text or paragraph formatting in a SqlServer 2005 Express edition table? If so, how?
I am particularly interested in keeping a linebreak between paragraphs and the only way I can think to do that is to put each paragraph in its own row. But I want some input before I undertake that substantial task.
Thanks for any help provided.
What is the best way to parse large amounts of formatted text data
into a table so that it can be retrieved with as much formatting
retained as possible - particularly paragraphs? Will each
paragraph need to be inserted into its own row to be retrieved as a
paragraph?
I am loading data using SSIS 2008 from a table in SQL Server 2008 DB to excel 97 sheet pre-defined with column headers. All the columns in excel is has 'Text' format property and the columns in the SQL Server table are defined as nVarchar. One of the columns has trailing spaces in few rows in DB but after exporting to excel 97, the spaces are gone. We need to retain the whitespaces in the column values. How can we do that.

Using this SQL statement:
select top 1 'Name', app_first_name+' '+app_last_name [name] ,'Submission Date', submission_date ,'Address', app_address+', '+app_city+', '+app_state+' '+app_zip from vw_bpa_export where app_email = dave@email.com order by submission_date desc
the resulting output displays this in the email body
"Name","Brian Vogler","Submission Date","2008-01-30 07:45:00","Address","6285 Harrow Trace, Norcross, GA 30092 "
but what I want is the text to look more like this:
Name Brian VoglerSubmission Date 2008-01-30 07:45:00Address 6285 Harrow Trace, Norcross, GA 30092
Is there a way to do this in the SQL statement (without HTML tags)?
Does anyone know if there is a way SQLMail can always send a message using a fixed font like Courrier? I use SQLMail to send out an invoice and even though I format the spacing, the email looks unformatted on some systems.
I am using Exchange 5.5, SQL server 6.5 sp4 and the recipients of the emails could have any email client.
thanks,

Hi,
I am saving a couple of paragraphs of text into a varchar(max) field in a SQL database table. But when I try to use display the information again, then all the linefeed and return characters seem to be removed. How do I keep this text formating in the database field?

Thanks

Hello,
I am having a problem trying to do some conditional formatting on the text color.
This textbox is in the Group Footer so i essentially want change the color to red if the SUM of one field in the group is less than the SUM of another field in the same group.
I am doing this:
=Iif(Sum(Fields!YTDChargeHours)< Sum(Fields!YTDForecast), "Red", "Black")
but i am getting this error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Color expression for the textbox €˜YTDChargeHours€™ contains an error: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
Thanks in advance!

I have a 2005 SQL SERVER db. I'm trying to export it to a 2000 db. I delete all the tables in the 2000 db then try to run an export from Management Studio 2005 and the tables go over fine, but no PK field is defined, no already-defined identity seed, etc...

I have an SSIS routine which uses a simple SQL select statement from a SQL Server 2005 database and then goes to a Flat File destination. The field (dischstatuscode) is a nvarchar(50) and it may contain data with leading zeros.
Code Snippet
Select DischStatusCode
from dbo.pm
...which returns:
01
23
37
05
04
41
When I open up the csv file produced by the SSIS routine, I see the following:
1
23
37
5
4
41
How can I have it retain leading zeros?
Simple scenario. I have a DB table with a money column. SSIS package with a data flow task which has an OLE DB source and flat file destination. I want the single money column from the database into the flat file.
If a (monetary) value in the table is 123.50, the I want 123.50 to appear in the file, not 123.5. Any ideas how I do this? I've tried all available data types, set the scale to 2 where available but nothing has an effect.
Any thoughts?
Greg.
I searched the forums for 'Retain leading 0 in datetime field' and received 0 hits.
I have a client who needs me to export SQL data as a txt file. All of the varchar fields are working well. I am having a problem with the datetime field. In my SQL table, I have a datetime field named 'Date_Acquired'. I enter the date as 04/28/2008 but it shows up in the table as 4/28/2008 and exports to text as 4/28/2008. Is there an easy way within my export Stored Procedure to reformat the datetime field to retain the leading zero? I have explored the CAST and CONVERT statements but have been unsuccessful so far.
Can anyone help?
We have a hardware problem and will be getting a new RAID HDD system.
I've asked the tech onsite to backup and detach the MSDB and then reattach.
Can this be done, I expect to have him detach the new MSDB when MSSQL is re-installed. Then replace that file with the previously detached version and run reattach from QA(?)
Will this work.
TIA

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am considering the use of ALTER DATABASE ... SET NEW_BROKER within an existing Service Broker instance. The reason is that I have about 23 million old endpoints in Service Broker that I am unable to clean up using the standard END CONVERSATION loops that have been discussed on these forums previously. It's a busy database, and it just cannot do the job within a reasonable timeframe.
There are no critical conversations to be lost, becuse the majority of the old endpoints deal with ASP.NET SQL caching, so they are disposable.
I have read that using the ALTER DATABASE command will delete all past endpoints, but I haven't seen much in the way of the retention of the existing message framework.
If I execute ALTER DATABASE ... SET NEW_BROKER, will it retain everything I have setup, including security, message types, contracts, services, queues, etc.? Is there anything, other than the old conversations and endpoints, that is deleted?
Thanks very much!
Is there by chance a cunning way to make the input columns automatically populate the output of an asynchronous script transformation?
My transformation writes several rows for each input row read. I'm creating some new columns along the way but I'd like all of the input columns to get output each time also. However I can't see any obvious way to achieve this, short of manually defining each column to the output and populating it in the script.

What is the difference between CleanExpiredCache and FlushReportFromCache Do we need to run both the SPs to clear all the SSRS reporting cache? Is it possible to clean all the Cache information and retain the logs? If yes how we can do so. Is it by deleting the REportServerTempDB.dbo.ExecutionCache table work in achieving this?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a query in a SSRSreport that returns a value that looks like '012345'. The value looks fine on the report preview screen.
When the report is exported to excel, that value is displayed in a cell as '012345'. When I click out of the field, excel is dropping the leading zero and converting the value in the field to 12345.
Why is this happening and i have converted the value as string as well using expression.
This seems to get the job done...
SELECTRIGHT('00000000'+CONVERT(VARCHAR,REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),101),'/','')),8)
However, when I try to create it and CONVERT it to a DECIMAL, it then loses the "0"
SELECTCONVERT(DECIMAL(8,0),RIGHT('00000000'+CONVERT(VARCHAR,REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),101),'/','')),8))
Is it impossible to convert it to a decimal and retain the leading "0" on the month?
My vendor's spec states..."Business Date Numeric For 8 positions MMDDYYYY"
I have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure!
However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it.
If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.
I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.
This is driving me insane!
I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..
The code I use is:
DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
and I get
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.
Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?
Thank you
Hello all,I have a strange problem that i need some advice on. I have the following field called FILENO. It is a SQL 2000 field with the Data Type set to Char (7). The following sql statement works perfectly:SELECT TOP 1 RTRIM(FILENO) AS TEST, RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) AS YEAR FROM tblRecordsWHERE RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) = '05'ORDER BY FILENO DESCIt returns the correct data, 0050. Now, what i'm trying to do is add 1 to the value so i can get the next available number which is 0051. But, when i run the following sql statement, i get 51 instead of 0051.SELECT TOP 1 RTRIM(FILENO+1) AS TEST, RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) AS YEAR FROM tblRecordsWHERE RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) = '05'ORDER BY FILENO DESCDoes anyone have an idea how to solve this? Thanks.Richard M.
