  I'm trying to set up a BULK INSERT Format File for some data that I've been sent, which, according to the data documentation, comes in fixed-width format fields (no delimiters except for end-of-row 0D0A) in SQL-Server 2005 Express.

• SQL Server Reading Excel Sheets - Column DataTypes - Change default

  Hi, I am reading Excel sheets using the Excel Source in a Data Flow. The driver decides the data type of the column based on the first 8 ( ) values which it reads. How can this default be changed to, say, 1000, please This is because I am reading columns in which the first, say, 20 cells have no values and this is causing the driver to make ALL the values in the column to be null. Thanks. In Connection Manger Editor Click on Advanced  and then click on Suggested types  and there you can change number of values to 1000 (i think that is the max) Hope this works -Raj ...Show All

• SQL Server How to Execute a DiffGram

• Visual Studio Team System ? Check in but keep checked out ?

  Is there any way to check-in a changeset, but still keep it checked out That's something I often do with VSS6, but I can't see any way with Source Code Explorer. (There's a few things like this from VSS6 that I'm missing - for example, the ability to find all files with a specific suffix, and then be able to easily check them out without having to painstakingly visit each of them in their source code folder.) I am running post-beta 3 binaries, so I logged onto a machine that has beta 3 Team Foundation Explorer (no VS, just the standalone app, aka the tfc sku).  When I went to Tools -> Opti ...Show All

• Visual C# Detection of thread executing

  I have read up some on utilizing threads, being a newbie to programming in C# and converted a major function in my application to execute in a background thread (to stop the display from freezing up if I switched to another application). The threading worked perfectly and it even terminates itself after completion. The only complication I have is that I cannot update the various text boxes on my form because they are part of other system threads. My application thread is not started until after a menu click event. First, I perform a file dialog function to select the file I want to decode. Once the file dialog box is closed and the fil ...Show All

• SQL Server How to execute ssis package from stored procedure

  how to excute ssis package from stored procedure and get the parameters back from ssis into the stored procedure. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Permission to execute sp_oacreate has to be explicitly granted to users if they aren't to be given membership of the sysadmins role. As I understand it, if you can execute a sp_oacreate command you can run any command line using wsccript.shell. SQL injection attack springs to mind.... This approach is far from ideal and only seems to be appropriate where the users are known, trusted etc. I remember reading a forum question from a person want ...Show All
