    Happy Monday. :hehe:

    HA! As if.

    Cluster down again. Much scrambling to get things working before the BU showed up.

    My only issue with sorting was making sure I didn't have two copies of the same record with the errors flipped (Ship Date; Sale Date vs Sale Date; Ship Date)....

  • RE: Creating Delimited Strings

    Update from the front. I have replaced my multiple inserts with an UNPIVOT. Rather than compare 15 different columns as listed above, I've done the following:

    ALTER TABLE DT.Staging

  • RE: Creating Delimited Strings

    Okay, so repeating what I have...

    CREATE TABLE dbo.#TempErrors (DocID int, FieldType varchar(20), ErrorDetail varchar(400));

    INSERT INTO dbo.#TempErrors (DocID, FieldType)

    SELECT DocID, 'DocumentNumber'

    FROM MyStagingTable

    WHERE 'DocumentNumber'IS NULL OR 'DocumentNumber'='';

  • RE: Creating Delimited Strings

    Oh, duh. You're right and Lowell's right, of course. And that works so much better then the other stuff I've come up with.
