First insert_offset is zero based

Second your patindex will only find occurrance if the column ends with 123456789123456789

Try this

WHILE 1=1

BEGIN

  SELECT @ptrval_s = TEXTPTR(Text_Column),

    @patptr=PATINDEX('%123456789123456789%',Text_Column)-1

It means the table has been altered in the diagram but the diagram has not been saved.

If the 'column' may or may not contain spaces then this should work

FROM T1

INNER JOIN (SELECT a.[id],MIN(a.firstname+a.surname+a.email) AS FROM T2 a GROUP BY a.[id])...

As stated in the link you will not be able to replace your temp table with a table variable and even if you could I doubt there would be any...

Yep, if you put a valid path to a filename in the 'Output File' field then all the output of the DTSrun will be in that file including any errors....

Don't need to use a cursor

CREATE FUNCTION fn_GetDays(@Secs As int)

I think this is what you mean
