Matching key question – resubmitted

Slowlearner — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 22:25:14 +0000

Hi,
resubmitting because the first upload did not seem to work…
Here is the problem I am trying to solve.
I need to extract some information from a table, say Tab2, using a matching key from another table, say Tab1.
Tab1 has two columns, Col1 and Col2.
Col1 is digits (1, 2, 3…)
Col2 has letters (AA, Aa, aA, aa, AB etc)
I need to use Col2 to join to Tab2 and extract some data from Tab2, based on some criteria (like values of Col2).
The problem is that SQL is not differentiating between upper case and lower case values in Col2. So, AA is treated the same as Aa.
If I wanted to retrieve information for AA from Tab2, it gives me the information for AA, Aa, aA and aa.
How do I solve this problem?
Thanks to all who try to help.

Reading xml url into SQL Server 2008 Table with OpenXML

Rscheinberg59 — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 17:21:25 +0000

I am parsing an xml file that contains an xml url and a text file url as values. OpenXML appears to be unable to read neither the xml url nor the url to the text file. It reads the urls to pdf and html locations fine. How can I get the process to get the xml url as text into my sql table. My next step would be to parse each xml for each record to retrieve some data out of each, but that will come later. I first need to be able to read the url. Right now all I get is null values.

Here is a sample of one record (there are about 5000 in the xml):

https://www.someplace.com/docs/xml/something.xml https://www.someplace.com/docs/pdf/something.pdf https://www.someplace.com/docs/html/something.html https://www.someplace.com/docs/html2/something.txt Some Text 20080924 1 1

Here is my code:

INSERT

INTO #WorkingTable

SELECT

* FROM OPENROWSET (BULK ‘C:ProcessesBlueMatrixBMdocs.xml’, SINGLE_BLOB) AS data

SELECT

@XML = Data FROM #WorkingTable

EXEC

sp_xml_preparedocument @hDoc OUTPUT, @XML

SELECT

getdate(), id, doc_type, url_xml, url_pdf, url_html, url_text, headline, dateadded, active

FROM

OPENXML(@hDoc, ‘/doc_url/document’, 2)

WITH

(id int ‘@id’, doc_type tinyint ‘@doc_type’, url_xml varchar(200), url_pdf varchar(200), url_html varchar(200), url_text varchar(200), headline varchar(200), dateadded datetime, active tinyint );

EXEC

sp_xml_removedocument @hDoc

Thanks for any help you can provide.

The SSIS 2008 R2 job does not complete execution

Iamhere980 — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 17:10:13 +0000

I have an SSIS package created in 2005 SP2. I have compiled this and is sheculed to run under SQL Server 2008 R2, which connects to a SQL Server 2005 database.

What the package does.

1.The package FTP’s some files to the local folder. I verified to confirm the files are downloaded correctly.

2. Truncate the tablse. Verified to see the record count is 0.

3.Copies the data from the FTP’ed file to the tables. Verified to see the table is loaded.

4.Calls a stored procedure. Verified the log table to see the message of the last step in stored procedure is executed.

5.Added one more last step in the package to log an entry in the table to see the lat step in package is executed. This also works fine.

6. The job still shows “In Progress…” I have to manually close this job.

Any help

Create QA database with only some production tables

Rwaltz — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 13:50:12 +0000

I have a large database with some tables that have largely static data. I need to make a new database on a different server with the same table structure with the static data tables intact (keys, etc.). The other tables must be empty. They’re all in the same filegroup in the original database. I’ve done this once, by some sort of partial (copy only?) backup and changing filenames… but I’ve lost the script and I can’t locate the original article (yes, I’m kicking myself).
Thanks

Access or SQL Server tables

Imjnice — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 16:02:12 +0000

Yes I am consultant for a small business, and currently they have a Access database that works pretty decently. At the current situation, the owner needs another database. I really do not want to have to ask the developer to keep creating different databases that includes him having to put more separate tables on the server for the new database. I wanted to know, for future growth, would SQL be better to implement being that the owner needs another database? I mean no telling how many more databases she may need.
