  • RE: bcp Invalid character value for cast specification

    No sure if that is your full DDL but you, it appears you're trying to insert the string value "<null>" into a column of the data type datetime.  You'll probably...

  • RE: SSIS Question

    Completely agree that loading 500 tables in a single Data Flow task would unlikely be a good idea. Your data is going to have some kind of relationship definitions, so...

  • RE: Database Corruption

  • RE: FOR XML - Remove attributes from FOR XML EXPLICIT

    That second XML isn't valid. The tag Order isn't closed. Sounds like, however, you need to pass all the values as an empty string ('')?

  • RE: In SSRS, a Date Time parameter on Preview is not matching the deployed report

    What do you mean by "not matching", different values? Perhaps the deployed report is using a different data source, and thus when the default value is calculated a different value...

    Interesting development on Stack Overflow, where they shared email addresses to Amazon without consent. This is a meta post on it (with response from one of their product managers):

  • RE: dynamic sql query

    You're still using execute(@query);. Like I showed above, you need to use parametrised SQL with sp_executesql.

    P.s. I still really suggest getting some formatting and...

    declare @frdate datetime =;01-jan-2019',@todate datetime ='31-jan-2019'
