I've created a SQL View in SQL 2000 using a table that has columnsdefined as Numeric data type. In the view, I am grouping and summing.When I link the view via ODBC to Access, all of the data types arechanged to text. If I link the original table which the views arecreated from to Access, the data types are correct. So this problemobviously happens when I change the view to Group. Is there a wayaround this? I want the data types to be correct in Access when Ilink to the views.thanks,jim
Is there anyway to change the data type of a variable while in an expression? My problem is I am trying to compare a variable w/ a string data type to a variable w/ an object data type. I would change the data type of the variable from object to string but if I do that my sql task fails when it tries to write a value to that variable. The variable w/ the object data type is the result of an openquery sql stmnt. So I guess there are two ways around my problem.
1. Change data type of variable while in an expression..ie flow constriant or 2. Change data type of vraiable from object to string and still get the openquery result to work.
I'd like to find where can I change the fonttype for annotations done in Control Flow. I mean, every time that I do that appears the one I chose by default TIA
I have tables (they are empty and there are no constraints) with columns typed as varchar. In a database I want to change the type of all the varchar columns in all the tables from varchar to nvarchar. What's the best way to do it? Can you suggest code?
I know that to get all the relevant columns I would issue a query like this
select * from information_schema.columns where data_type = 'varchar'
Then I would use a cursor... And that's exactly what I would not like to do. Is there any other way?
I use expressions to build the SQL query that is executed by the data flow.
Today, I ran into an issue. For the first time the SQL query has exceeded 4000 char so the expression cannot be validated and it is not possible to use it.
Is there a way to change the expression datatype to nvarchar(max) instead of the default nvarchar(4000) ?
hi allthis is my first post to this group, so pls bear with me while i tryto make some sense.i am trying to create a sproc which uses dynamic sql to target aparticuar table eg. '[dbo].[' + @tableID + '_articles']' and performsome actions.i am using @tableID [int] as a passes parameter for the sproc.everything seems to work fine until i try and manipulate a parameterwhich is of text data type.the error occurs when i try to build the dynamic sql string and appendthe text type variable.eg.CREATE PROCEDURE [procArticlesInsert](@siteID [int],@strShortTitle [varchar](40),@strLongTitle [varchar](60),@strShortContent [text],@strLongContent [text],@intSectionID [int],@intTemplateID [int],@intStatusID [int])ASDECLARE @strSQL varchar (1000)DECLARE @strSiteID varchar (10)SET @strSiteID = CAST(@siteID AS varchar)SET @strSQL = ('INSERT INTO [' + @strSiteID + '_articles] ' +'( [dateEntered], ' +'[shortTitle], ' +'[longTitle], ' +'[shortContent], ' +'[longContent], ' +'[sectionID], ' +'[templateID], ' +'[statusID]) ' +'VALUES ' +'(' + CAST(GETDATE() AS VARCHAR) + ', ' +'''' + @strShortTitle + ''', ' +'''' + @strLongTitle + ''', ' +''''@strShortContent , ' +'@strLongContent , ' +CAST(@intSectionID AS VARCHAR) + ', ' +CAST(@intTemplateID AS VARCHAR) + ', ' +CAST(@intStatusID AS VARCHAR) + ')')GOi could cast the text fields (@strShortContent , @strLongContent) tovarchar, but the restriction of 8000 characters will not go down sonicely.if anyone has any ideas or alternatives to what i am trying toachieve, i would love to hear from you.thanksadrian.
Does anyone know if there is a way to dynamically set the chart type (i.e. pie, line, column, etc.) for your report in SSRS? I want the customer to be able to chose which type of chart they'd like to see.
I've looked all over the Internet and can't find anything.
Any help would be appreciated. Alan
Clarification: I guess I should clarify a little. I am using an ASP.NET 2.0 page written in C# and using a ReportViewer control.
More Clarification: The ReportViewer displays an rdlc.
I have a report that has a matrix. That matrix can have from 2 to 16 columns dependinging on the dataset result. Right now I am forced to place this matrix on the left side of the report and make a column layout pretty narrow. When dataset has more than 13 or so columns it looks OK, but when dataset has only two or three columns it looks weird with a matrix sitting in the left corner with two or three narrow columns and a lot of empty space to the right.
Is it possible programmatically change the width of the columns depending on their number in the dataset?
Is it possible to move the location of the matrix (horizontally) depending on the number of columns in the dataset?

I have created a function that will check whether the data is null or not. If its null then it will display that as No data else it will display the original value. Below is the function

I am using SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition fully patched. Database is in Simple Recovery mode.
I need to change a column's data type from "int(4)" to "smallint(2)". I know for sure that there will be no data (precision) lost, because I know the possible values that this column could have.
My problem is that the table I am dealing with has 600,000,000 records in it. I dropped all indexes before I tried to alter the table. But still it is taking forever and filling up my 280GB disk with transaction log file.
I know that in Oracle, if I want I can turn off logging and do these kind of modifications relatively faster.
I was wondering if there is a way of disabling logging before running this alter command.
What is the best practice to handle a situation of this sort?

This is driving me a little nuts, I have been testing locally with SQL Server Express 2005 and this has not been a problem, however now that I have restored the databases to SQL Server 2005 (not express) When I go into SQL Server Management Studio open a table the option for changing a query type is greyed out has anyone seen this or have any ideas how I can get this working. Thanks, Terry

Would anyone happen to have any pointers or know of any good code examples to either programmatically change the type of an input column when it is passed through the component, or add a new column to the output? I am extracting data from an Oracle database which is in Julian date format (represented within SSIS as a DT_NUMERIC column) and I need to to either transform the input column holding it into a date column, or to dynamically add a new output column holding the transformed data.
