  • RE: SSIS: Export SQL task to new pipe-delimited text file

    ipisors (8/11/2014)


    I was able to solve this because eventually I realized that I needed to drag a flat file destination, not a flat file source. Seems obvious, but the...

    Hello SQL families,

    What is the maximum one can make as SQL / BI developer? Or How far a Microsoft SQL developer can go?

  • RE: Implicit transaction mode

    Nice question, thanks.

    Holy crap, I'm almost speechless:

    That's a new one, aside to the questions asking for exam dumps and free copies of books.

  • RE: Plagiarism and Blog Spam

    So do I need to search Google with segments of multiple blog postings on his blog and try to find the copy right holders?

    Who owns copy right...

  • RE: Plagiarism and Blog Spam

    I think to only action you can take is notify the actual owners of the copyright. It is up to them to take action.

  • RE: Is SSDT only a client tool?

    Gazareth (8/11/2014)


    I don't think that requires SQL Database Engine installed locally.

    Indeed, you can work with SSDT just fine without having SQL Server installed.

  • RE: date issue

    No, your code takes a date and creates a mmddyyyy representation.

    But if SSIS mixes up days and months, it can lead to the same issue (e.g. creating yyyyddmm by accident...

    ok thanks

    and if the string is not all the same length I will probably hit problems ?

    With the understanding you have of that counting problem and the additional understanding that I don't ask "trick" questions or questions based on trivia, explain or even...

  • RE: date issue

    It should affect all dates I assume.

    Maybe because the other dates are impossible in a given format (months cannot be over 12), SSIS assumes another format?

    Usually I steer away from...

  • RE: Parse out the first 3 characters

    You use the LEFT function.

  • RE: date issue

    The expression looks fine to me.

    So you are saying the issue happens for a single date, but not for all the other dates? Seems quite odd to me.

    Check the regional...

  • RE: date issue

    Why don't you leave the current date from the source - MaturityDate - as it is and insert that into the database.

    You can convert it to the format you like...
