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.

Problem Querying SQL table from PHP

ELHaysStrom — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 14:50:22 +0000

I
recently added a new table to an existing database. Data is entered
into the db via a web front end, using PHP 5. I am not a php developer.
Our
developer is trying to build a search query against the new table
(there is data in the table). From the page he is working on, he can
run a query against any other table in the database, but not against the
new table.
I have verified that the user login account he is
using has the requisite permissions. I can log in to SSMS with those
credentials and runs a select * from the table in question, and it
returns all the rows. I can run an osql statement from my desktop and
from the developers desktop utilizing the same credentials, and return
the rows.
I’ve run a Profiler trace, and watched while he queries
other tables and when he queries the new table. When he queries the
“customer” table, which has 161 records in it, I see 485 Reads. When he
queries the new table “esb_rt”, there are 0 reads.
I think this
is a PHP issue. The developer thinks it’s a SQL issue. Can anyone
provide any ideas where to look that I’m not looking?

SQL statement needed to remove characters

Satonthehill — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 02:34:45 +0000

I have data in one of my columns in a table that I would like to remove via a SQL update statement. In all cases, the data that I want to remove is the same 3 characters at the end of the varchar field. How would I structure the SQL statement?

Can two separate cursors update the same SQL table when executed together?

MrRussellWebb — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 10:57:15 +0000

I have three tables.

Table One is a master table which contains rows which need to be updated with data from the other two tables (I’ll call them Table Two and Table Three).

I have created a cursor which updates existing rows in Table One with data from Table Two. This works fine, and following the successful execution of the cursor, Table One contains the new data.

However, I have a second cursor, which updates the same columns in Table One as the first cursor does, (but never the same rows), and when this second cursor is executed, the data in Table One is updated with the data from Table Three. However, when querying Table One after the execution of the second cursor the data from Table Two is no longer present.
Each cursor is executed in its own transaction, which is committed after the cursor has been closed and deallocated.

This is my first attempt at using cursors, and I need to know whether what I’m doing is technically possible, and if so what may be causing the updates from the first cursor to be lost.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks R.W.

Update a subquery with different tables

I am trying to update a table and use a subquery for the argument. I think I have both queries correct but since but since they are from two tables I am not tying together correctly. Can you tell me what I need to do?

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.
