  • RE: Working with stored text file in TSQL

    Roughly like below. You may have to adjust the "SINGLE_NCLOB" to "SINGLE_CLOB", depending on the format of the input file.

    DECLARE @file_text varchar(max)

    SELECT @file_text = file_text

    FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'd:\full\path\to\file\filename.txt', SINGLE_NCLOB) AS...

  • RE: Working with stored text file in TSQL

    Gotta' admit, I prefer working in SQL/TSQL, so even for (moderately) large text files I'll often just do an:

    OPENROWSET(BULK '<path_and_file_name>', SINGLE_CLOB) --or NCLOB, if req'd

    to load the whole file at...

    Hard to provide more details without the rest of the query and with no index info on the tables.

  • RE: Help me optimise this query

    Best guess with what's known so far:

    Create an index on "order":

    key = ( claim_id ); include = ( order_id, created_dtm )

    No, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you literally wanted the sort order in the result.

    I think we have a slight disconnect here :). Your query is selecting from @ItemListOutput, which is where I included "ItemSortOrder" column. I did this to show my desired...

    Scott,

    Thanks for your suggestion, but your query won't give me the sort order id for each individual item of an order. Please look at the last column of @ItemListOutput...

    Luis Cazares (3/19/2014)


    You could try something like this:

    This won't be completely safe as it will return false positives for values with more than one point(.).

  • RE: EXCEL-SQLServer - Is is possible to force isolation level read uncommited for specific logins ?

    I think the best try might be to use a LOGON trigger. Hopefully you can identify those Excel logins using APP_NAME() and/or HOST_NAME() and/or ORIGINAL_LOGIN() (and/or whatever else).

    I don't think you have to go thru all that.
