How to Read TEXT data and emailing
-
I would like to know how to read TEXT data from database, i wanted to send this via email (txt file)
I tried to read using READTEXT with pointer, but not able to retrieve all the data which is about 30000 characters, as pointer size is varbinary(16)
also tried XML, but it contains some invalid characters such as <, some hash #, etc
is there any easy method? to read exact data as it is...thnx

Did you try Substring function?

Did you try Substring function?Substring is not returning more than 8000 chars, i wanted to read 30000 chars data. tks

Is it possible to push the data value to a .txt file temporarily and use it as messagesource for the "send mail" task?
Other option if the string is always around 30000 chars, we can split the contents using multiple substring function and use the variable in send mail task. But i am not sure whether multiple variables can be embedded using "+" operator in the mail task.

I dont have code at home (not allowed @office), but what I did was...
Based on Biz rules, i retrieved less than 5K data each iteration and sent that max position value as input to next iteration and so on
sent all output to txt file.

Thnx. So you used the approach 1 for the solution. I thought you used in built function similar to substring to get this done. Hope there is no method to directly read "text" data into a string variable or so.

I tried both READTEXT and Substring options, and other methods too, like xml... but finally using Substring in 2005
however, in 2008, for XML AUTO is returning all data

Why not use the standard Export Column component from SSIS ? You don't need to write script to export the entire content of a column.
