1. Select into/Bulk copy option must be set for database

2. Primary Keys and Indexes will not be created for new table

Alternatively

Not that I know of but you could write one like this

CREATE  FUNCTION fn_hextovarchar

    (@input varchar(8000), @startoffset int = 1)

RETURNS varchar(4000)

AS

BEGIN

  DECLARE @hex char(16),@output varchar(4000),@ptr int,@val int

Divide by zero always returns null, the combination of ANSI_WARNINGS, ARITHABORT and ARITHIGNORE determines whether an error is produced or at what level the abort takes place (see BOL)

So

SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF

SET...

Use a FormatFile to specify the order and type of input data and in which columns to place the data. Note that any column not specified must be nullable.

BOL has...

In ExecuteSQL task, RAISERROR will cause the 'On Failure' workflow to trigger. eg

IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM [sometable] WHERE [sometest])

RAISERROR 'Record Does Not Exist',16,1

If the data is sorted on a column with unique values then you can do the following (uses pubs for example)

select (select count(*)

  from pubs.dbo.stores s2

  where s2.stor_id...

Increase the size of @Courses. It must be large enough to hold all the database names (including a comma) plus the final comma.

This is how I do .NET

Try this

alter procedure sp_GetUserValidation

(

@UserName varchar(50),

@Courses varchar(50),

@Return varchar(150) OUTPUT

)

AS

SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @CourseName varchar(100), @UserValArray varchar(200), @Pos int

DECLARE @sql nvarchar(500)

DECLARE @Result char(1)

SET @Return = ''

SET @Courses = LTRIM(RTRIM(@Courses))

IF @Courses = '' RETURN

SET...

Yes I would be interested as well. The OR method is the way I do it, the ISNULL I got from other threads on this site and seemed a simpler neater...

If you have SQL2000, create a function

CREATE Function dbo.fn_table1 (@col1 int)

RETURNS varchar(1000)

AS

BEGIN

DECLARE @result varchar(1000)

SELECT @result = COALESCE(@result + ', ','') + CAST(NewCol1 as varchar)

FROM...

where col1 = isnull(@p1,col1)

and col2 = isnull(@p2,col2)

and col3 = isnull(@p3,col3)

But beware this will invoke a table or index scan.

UPDATE p

SET p.EmployeeNo = i.EmployeeNo

FROM [primary] p

INNER JOIN [import] i

ON i.LastName = p.LastName

AND i.Initial = LEFT(p.FirstName,1)

WHERE p.EmployeeNo IS NULL

BUT BEWARE! This will...

Firstly I would remove the subqueries from the while statements and do them once at the beginning, ie

declare @maxdataid int, @maxruleid int

select @maxdataid = isnull(max([id]),0) from newdata

select @maxruleid = isnull(max([id]),0)...

Created on the fly no testing

Probable poor performance

Assumes complete sql (including rules/test) less than 4000 bytes

CREATE TABLE #tests (rowid int IDENTITY(1,1),test nvarchar(100))

INSERT INTO #tests (test) values ('where rule1')
