• SQL Server Trying to export a global temp table using SSIS.

  Senerio:   I have to extract data from a read only table using a globel temp table then export it to another OLE DB connection or to a flat file. But in the new SSIS packages it does not allow you to do thisusing the global ## symbols in front of a table name. How do I get around this   Thanks   There's no such thing as a table within SSIS but I suppose the most analogous thing is an ADO Recordset. Use the Recordset destination to populate an in-memory ADO Recordset. You can then use this technique to get data out of it: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2006/0 ...Show All

• SQL Server Old Excel files after SQL2000 > SQL2005 migration

  Hello there! We are having some problems over here after our SQL2005 upgrade. If we try to use an excel file that previously accessed the SQL2000 database (same DSN name and credentials), and then try to refresh the data after the 2005 upgrade, we get the errormessage "[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]User 'DOMAIN\username' does not have permission to run DBCC TRACEON." We have tried to delete and recreate the DSN file.. Tried to use SA user instead (with offcourse full access).. An even bigger problem is that we can not even get into msquery to copy the SQL query to make a new file, the same problem appears. ...Show All

If I take the plunge and go to vb.net, is there a way to scan and manage document images within VSStudio 2005 or the .net architecture   No disrespect to Leadtools but I would like to reduce my reliance on 3rd party controls (including annual upgrades, royalties, etc.) JC Some articles about ocr http://www.thecodeproject.com/info/search.asp cats=3&cats=5&a ...Show All

• Visual C# A beautiful language ruined by generics

  >However you managed to arrive, you were instantly greeted by lines and lines of code barely recognizable as a member of the C/C++ family. It is true that templated code requires a little more knowledge to read than other C++ code.  That's the difference between beginner and intermediate, IMO >Generics are a really simple concept - mainly syntactic sugar to deal with the lack of a unitary object hierarchy in C++. That's just plain not true.  Regardless of if everything was derived from a common object class ( which is not true even in C# ), generics provide type safety a lot more than they provide some sort of unifying ...Show All
