• SQL Server Scrubbing data in a data flow task

  I can only assume that I either did something very stupid, the examples are completely wrong, or I don't have the slightest clue what it is that I'm doing. I'm trying to do one of those incredibly complicated things in SSIS that was a brain-dead, point click operation in DTS.  I want to strip characters out of an input stream from a flat file source before loading them into a table.  I've defined my data flow task.  I have my flat file source properly defined.  I have my SQL Server destination properly defined.  For the life of me, I can't figure out how to scrub the data that I want. My input is a csv file that has 22 columns of data.  Column 22 contains data and if data was not present, there is a - in ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting to show default data row

  Hi I have a database details veiw on my vb 2005 express form. When I run my program , all the data in row 1 automatically shows up, as the default. How can I set the default to show the data from row 2 when I start up my program Thanks Rob hi Rob, I do think you should post elsewhere, in the programming forums, as you are probably dealing with a datatable containg all the rows of your underlaying SQLExpress table, performed ( ) via a simple "SELECT [col_list] FROM schema.table ORDER BY col;".. this will load the entire table into the resultset you are working with, and the binding you have set in your form just navigates to the 1st available row.. to accomplish your required behaviour, from a SQL Server ...Show All

• SQL Server OLAP server or SQL Analysis Service

  Hi I am new to SQL Server and not quite understand the difference between OLAP server or SQL Analysis Service. Are they referring to the same thing An user asked me to confirm that the OLAP server is active on a server running SQL Server 2005, what do I need to check. The Analysis service is up and running, does it mean it is OK Please advise. Thanks. OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) is a generic term for the process of analyzing stored data. SQL Server Analysis Services is a product which performs the Analytical Processing for you. If Analysis Services is up and running then you're OK. ...Show All

  I'm trying to get the SOAP messages from my web service compressed to reduce the data size when send to the client.

• .NET Development Admin rights

  Hi, I made an install using visual studio to install my app and .net if its needed on that pc. However on users that dont have admin rights they can install .net. Is there a way around this I would be very grateful. Thanks Wilk06 I believe what you are asking is "Can the .Net Framework be installed by a non-admin ". The answer to that is No. You have to be an admin to run some of the steps that the .Net Framework installer runs. Installing assemblies into the GAC and creating native images for managed assemblies are just some of the types of actions that are Admin-Only. Pracheeti - MSFT ...Show All

The textbox receives the focus (yeah), but the focus is only visible (blinking cursor) after I have hidden the App behind another window and brought it back to front by hand ( ).

• SQL Server Storing IEEE 754 Floats in SQL Server 2005 (NaN, +/- Infinity)

  Hi all, Is there a way to get SQL Server 2005 to store NaN and Positive and Negative infinity values for double precision floats It used to work fine under SQL 2000 and works great under MS Access, but we are updating our scientific application, and really need to be able to store this information efficiently under SQL Server 2005. We really want to dump Access because of database storage limitations. It really amazes me that there is not more support for this as the limitation really makes it hard to store a lot of our simulation data. I guess SQL Server is more geared for financial data then scientific data. I know that Oracle supports this but we rather stick with SQL Server if we can. We really want to avoid having to have an extra ...Show All
