  • RE: Get the Current Date

    Sean,

    Thanks for pointing out that he's talking about syntax, but when I go back to read his post, he's saying ANSI is more readable than T-SQL.

    I don't know why I...

  • RE: How to have an Excel destination have dynamic column names?

    Are you using PIVOT or COALESCE in your code to generate the column names?

    I ask because the closest thing I've got to what you're doing sets a variable using COALESCE...

  • RE: How to have an Excel destination have dynamic column names?

    Last post until I get more info from you on how you're dynamically generating your column names (code sample?) from the database.

    Looks like there was an article on SSC for...

    3. Execute SQL task (connected to a SQL Server) runs a query with dynamic column names (based on the year being executed for). The results are stored in a...

  • RE: BCP in

    Jez,

    So you'd be doing this manually instead of scheduled as an automatic job?

    Have you tried the Import / Export Wizard? It can import flat files.

    Brandie, if I'm understand you correctly, you are saying to dynamically set the file name.

    Nope. That's a different, separate thing. You can dynamically create the file, and all its...

  • RE: Get the Current Date

    Odd. When I do a "SELECT current_timestamp, GetDate()", I get the exact same values. So I'm not getting the point about readability.

    But, my recommendation is to avoid them like the plague.... they're comparatively slow.

    How much of a performance hit do styles put on the server?

    Dynamic name can be done either via script or via a Variable set as "Evaluate as Expression".

    Questions about this in general:

    1. How do we "submit" these "articles"?

    Look in the upper left hand sidebar. "Write For Us" has all the details. You'll have to click through...
