It's always good to see the "legacy" effects of old threads. @=)

Glad it helped.

DAMN!

It didn't completely work. Now it's padding the flat file with two SPACES after each dollar amount and truncating 2 zeros off the front of the fields.

GRRR.

EDIT: DOH! When I...

WOW!

That was beyond complicated.

Here's what I did:

Changed the Output metadata column to decimal with a scale of 2. (Yes, I still had to do that).

Add 2 Derived Column transformations instead...

Hmm. Now that's something I hadn't thought about.

When I tried this idea, I ended up, yet again, with 2 extra zeros at the end, but I can get around...

Right. I got that part.

The question is, what did he do after he found that information? How did he fix the "0" problem?

If you do profiler right, it won't consume as many resources...

Try switching the Model DB back to FULL recovery for a moment, backing up the transaction log, then switching Model back to SIMPLE. Then see if you can add the...

Granting references to DBO schema will indeed grant the ability to see the definitions to all DBO objects in that specific database. And remember, DBO doesn't own all schemas unless...

Your supplier's response still doesn't make sense to me. I can see granting reference to the defined user datatypes in the specific supplier's database, but not in TempDB.

BTW, as TempDB is essentially recreated every time you restart the services, what user defined datatypes are going to exist in it?

Does your supplier actually have code modifying TempDB?

That...

Have you checked the drive the transaction logs are on to make sure it isn't full?

Are you backing up your transaction logs (and checkpointing / truncating them) on a regular...

Question, what drive(s) are your system DBs on?

Also, does your Model db have a max file size?

Is your TempDB maxed out when you try this?

EDIT: I should clarify why I'm...
