How to load decimal values into a file using bcp in SQL Server 2000?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to load data from a database table to a text file using bcp on SQL Server 2000. When I'm loading the decimal values, the values before the decimal are not being loaded into the file. How could I load the values before decimals?
Here are the DDLs and DMLs of what I'm trying to run:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Product_Sales](
[Year_of_Sale] [smallint] NOT NULL,
[Product_Type] [varchar](25) NOT NULL,
[Product_Group] [varchar](25) NOT NULL,
[Category_Type] [varchar](25) NOT NULL,
[Category_Group] [varchar](10) NOT NULL,
[Product_Count] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[Product_Amount] [decimal](19, 2) NOT NULL,
[Category_Count] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[Category_Amount] [decimal](19, 2) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Product_Sales] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Year_of_Sale] ASC,
[Product_Type] ASC,
[Product_Group] ASC,
[Category_Type] ASC,
[Category_Group] ASC
) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT INTO [Yearly_Sales].[dbo].[Product_Sales]
VALUES(2010, 'Online', 'Web', 'Cameras', 'Electronics', 547, 0.00, 0, 0.00)
EXEC [master].[dbo].[xp_cmdshell] 'bcp "SELECT * FROM [Yearly_Sales].[dbo].[Product_Sales]" queryout D:\Yearly_Sales\Product_Sales.dat -c -T -S'
And the output I see in the file is:
2010 Online Web Cameras Electronics 547 .00 0 .00
The values before decimals are being truncated.
Thanks,
Bangaaram
Known is a DROP, Unknown is an OCEAN.

You can modify the decimal column(s) in the table to varchar type before export. But it does not look good.
alter table [dbo].[Product_Sales]
Alter column [Product_Amount] varchar(20)
alter table [dbo].[Product_Sales]
Alter column [Category_Amount] varchar(20)
Does that make any sense?
Known is a DROP, Unknown is an OCEAN.
Basically you modify the decimal column to a varchar type before you run the bcp command for export. You can modify your source table or you can modify them on the fly. It is just a workaround.
Modifying the source wouldn't be a good idea. Never do that if you can't get your desired output.

Full Text Search in PDF file Not Working in SQL Server 2012

OS: Windows Server 2012 @ Azure
DB: SQL Server 2012 SP 1 with Cum Update 6
Filter: OfficeFilter installed, PDFFilter64 11 installed (actually I tried 9 too)
I have done the following steps:-
1. Configure SQL Server Instance to enable FILESTREAM for Transaction-SQL Access (IO Access and Allow Remote Client Access to FileStream data) and restart the instance service.
2. Set Stream Access Level to Full Access and
3. Create Database with file stream folder and set the created database Properties.Options: FileStreamDirectorName = fileContainer and FileStream Non-Transaction Access = Full.
4. Create a FileTable with file director
5. Execute the following scripts to ensure all installed components working. PDF is listed as one of the supported filter.
EXEC sp_fulltext_service @action='load_os_resources', @value=1;
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0 -- don't verify signatures
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'update_languages'; -- update language list
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'restart_all_fdhosts';
EXEC sp_help_fulltext_system_components 'filter'
reconfigure with override
6. Copy a few PPTX, DOCX, PDF file into the file director.
7. Search the data by following command. I can PPTX and DOCX files can return right result but PDF is not returned although it contains the searching contents.
SELECT *
FROM dbo.Course
WHERE CONTAINS(file_stream, 'Counsellor');
Any expert advise?

Are you seeing any errors in the SQL Server Error Log, the Windows Application or System logs? How about in the Full-text crawl logging?
Troubleshooting Errors in a Full-Text Population (Crawl)
If your server has a mix of multi-threaded iFilters and single-threaded iFilters, this can cause serious problems with building the full text index. (How do I know this? Well, let's just say that I have suffered as well. And I was shocked!)
The efficiency was greatly increased by this article:
Troubleshooting: Slow Full-Text Indexing Performance Due to Filtering Process
This means changing the threading model for the multi-threaded (e.g. Microsoft Office) filters to be Apartment Threaded. Or perhaps if you are full text indexing PDF files, abandoning the free single-threaded Adobe IFilter and purchasing the FoxIt
(or some other) multi-threaded PDF iFilter would benefit you.

Konesans File Watcher Task and SQL Server 2012

Hello!
I am trying to use the Konesans File Watcher Task which worked perfectly for SQL 2008, to upgrade to SQL 2012. I am getting the following error
Cannot create a task from XML for task "File Watcher Task", type Konesans.Dts.Tasks FileWatcherTask.FileWatcherTask, Koneaasans .......
Anyone have any ideas on how to upgrade the Konesans File Watcher Task for SQL 2012?
Thanks,
Mike
Mike Kiser

Hi,
Konesans File Watcher Task is a 3rd party tool.
I had the same issue while upgrading SSIS 2005 packages which relied on this component to SSIS 2008.
Solution : you'll have to install Konesans File Watcher Task 2012 on your development PC (and on the SQL Server 2012 which will run this SSIS job).

When I use framing in SQL Server 2012 express, error occurred

Hello, everyone,
I met a error when I use framing in the SQL Server 2012 Express. Could you help me, thank you!
the query is:
SELECT custid, orderid, orderdate, val,
SUM(val) OVER(PARTITION BY custid
ORDER BY orderdate, orderid
ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING
AND CURRENT ROW) AS runningtotal
FROM Sales.OrderValues;
And the error information is:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Incorrect syntax near 'ROWS'.
Thank you!

Hello,
If you run that statement on SQL Server 2012 (or later), you won’t receive any errors.
I receive that error message only when I run that statement on SQL Server 2008.
I didn't try with SQL Server 2012 Express though. I tested with a SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition instance with SP1 CU2, and your statement works.
Hope this helps.

Reading Text Files using Oracle PL/SQL and UTL_FILE

Hi, experts. I tried to read a text file into oracle. Here is what i did:
1. Create a text file in the directory: C:\temp\New Text Document.txt
2. Run the following SQL in PL/SQL:
CREATE or replace DIRECTORY sampledata AS 'C:\temp\';
grant read, write on directory sampledata to public;
3. When I run the following code, it caused an error: ora-29280: invalid directory path. I have alread checked the directory path, it is correct. Would someone know what wrong is my code?

f := utl_file.fopen('sampledata','New Text Document.txt','R');
utl_file.get_line(f,s);

Query Analysis Services DMV (DISCOVER_LOCKS) with OPENQUERY SQL Server 2012

Hi, I'm having trouble with a specific DMV, $SYSTEM.DISCOVER_LOCKS, while querying it using T-SQL OPENQUERY.
For example, this query will run just fine:
select * from openquery(OLAP_SERVER, 'SELECT * FROM $SYSTEM.DISCOVER_CONNECTIONS')
But when I try:
select * from openquery(OLAP_SERVER, 'SELECT * FROM $SYSTEM.DISCOVER_LOCKS')
I get the following error:
OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "OLAP_SERVER" returned message "Internal error: An unexpected error occurred in conversion.".
OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "OLAP_SERVER" returned message "An error occurred while parsing the 'C5' element at line , column ('urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis:rowset' namespace) under Envelope/Body/ExecuteResponse/return/root/row/(any).".
Msg 7320, Level 16, State 2, Line 3
Cannot execute the query "SELECT * FROM $SYSTEM.DISCOVER_LOCKS" against OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "OLAP_SERVER".
Similar problems [*] were present on SQL Server 2008, but the author obviously managed to execute queries to all DMV-s. Could the linked server properties play a role in this?
[*] I am not able to post links or images at the moment until my account is verified, but I was referring to an article by Vidas Matelis, "SSAS 2008 DMVs – querying from the
SQL Server and database diagrams"

Hi Frodik,
Generally, the reason for the error “Cannot execute the query "XX" against OLE DB provider "XX" for linked server "XX"” can be lack of sufficient memory on server. Also possibly running into an SSAS issue which could
be bringing lots of data into cache. So in your scenario, if you server is X86 server, you can migrate it to X64 server which should help. If you server is X64 server, you can avoid this issue by increasing available memory.
Hope this helps.

Can't copy and paste files using RDP session in server 2012

I'm running windows 8, but I have also verified on a windows 7 machine as well. We have server 2012 installed on a machine
I use remote desktop to get into. I cannot copy files from my local pc and use paste to get them to the server. I could do this with server 2008. Is there some setting I have to change or does this not work with server 2012?
FYI, clipboard is checked when I open my remote desktop connection window. If I connect into a win server 2008 r2 machine from the same local machine, I can copy and paste files
just fine.
- Michael

Hi,
I believe RDS clipboard redirection should be enabled by default also on Windows Server 2012. Is there perhaps is a Group Policy Object active that is configured to disable Clip Board Redirection? Either on the computer or the user OU. If not:
You did not explicitly state this, but I'm assuming that you are running in Application Mode (meaning you did not install the RD Session Host role) ? If so please check the registry on the Windows Server 2012 destination server and look for:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Winstations\RDP-Tcp\fDisableClip
this should be set to
0, to make allow Clipboard Redirection
Also check the key below:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Addins\Clip Redirector
This should have:
Name
REG_SZRDPClip
Type
REG_DWORD0x00000003
If you did run the RD Session Host role, and you have done so using a Scenario Based Deployment (Scenario
Based Deployment of RDS in Windows Server 2012 ) you will have a Remote Desktop Management Service GUI available as pat of the Server Manager with which you can enable or disable ClipBoard Redirection from within a GUI on a Session Collection level
or you can use PowerShell
Using Powershell to install, configure and maintain RDS in Windows Server 2012

Issue with Full-Text (FTS) master merge on SQL Server 2012 SP2

Hi,
On my current project we have really annoying issue with master merge process that occurs after Full Population of FTS Index.
Let me describe our process: we have continuous build that setup environment and run unit tests after each commit in our source control. For each run we create new DB (on the same SQL Server) then fill it with test data and run unit tests. Sometimes unit
tests failed because FTS Index population cannot finish in time.
We have constantly seeing in [sysprocesses] table lots of sessions with wait type FT_MASTER_MERGE that block our tests
In FTS log we have following error:
The master merge started at the end of the full crawl of table or indexed view [TABLENAME] failed with HRESULT = '0x80000049'. Database ID is '45', table id is
706101556, catalog ID: 5.
Here is an example of how we create FTS catalog and add table to it (As you can see it's created with auto change tracking together with
index update in background):
-- Create FTS catalog
EXEC sp_fulltext_catalog 'WilcoFTSCatalog', 'create'EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'Users', 'create', 'WilcoFTSCatalog', 'PK_Users'
EXEC sp_fulltext_column 'Users', 'UserId', 'add'
EXEC sp_fulltext_column 'Users', 'Name', 'add'
EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'Users', 'activate'
EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'Users', 'start_change_tracking'
EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'Users', 'start_background_updateindex'
Does anybody know what is the root cause of this issue and what should be done to avoid it?
Thank you in advance,

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio:Importing XML file to new Table of new Database-XML parsing: unexpected end of input???

Hi all,
In the Notepad, I created an xml file (ZenQroducts.xml) :
<Qroducts>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>1</SKU>
<Desc>Book</Desc>
</Qroduct>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>2</SKU>
<Desc>DVD</Desc>
</Qroduct>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>3</SKU>
<Desc>Video</Desc>
</Qroduct>
In my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio, I executed the following code:
--to create a new object Qroducts in a new database OPENXMLtesting
CREATE DATABASE OPENXMLtesting
GO
CREATE TABLE Qroducts(
sku INT Primary KEY,
qroduct_desc VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO Qroducts (sku, qroduct_desc)
SELECT X.qroduct.query('SKU').value('.', 'INT'),
X.qroduct.query('Desc').value('.', 'VARCHAR(30)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'H:\ZenQroducts.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('Qroducts/Qroduct') AS X(qroduct);
SELECT sku, qroduct_desc
FROM Qroducts;
I got the following message:
Msg 9400, Level 16, State 1, Line 6
XML parsing: line 13, character 12, unexpected end of input
I have no ideas why I got this "XML parsing:line 13, character12, unexpected end of input" message. Please kindly help, advise me on where I made mistake and how I can resolve this problem, and respond in this Forum.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Manish, Thanks for your response.
Yes, it is a duplicate with Qroducts/Qroduct instead of Products/Product. I did it, because I don't know how to remove the existing "Products" database.
Again, I got the existing "Qroducts" database in this second trial!!?? I am comletely lost in doing "Importing XML file to SQL Table" now!! I think that I have not touched T-SQL and XML programming, since 2008. I
did not catch the new features of T-SQL 2008, XML, SQL/XML, XQuery, etc. for long time. Recently, I did not know what DECLARE, @x, SET,...were, and dived into the SQL/XML and XQuery programming. I knew the SQL Basics (SELECT, FROM, WHERE,..), creating
the names of databases and tables in SQL Server 2008/2012 Management Studio (Express) before. This morning, I found an old T-SQL 2008 Prgrammer's Guide that has the new features of SQL Server 2008 for T-SQL, XML, XQuery, etc. I just starting reading
it to know what DECLARE, @x, SET,... are. But, I still don't know where the existing databases "Products" and "Qroducts" (created by me) are - they are not in the Databases of SQL Server 2012 Management Studio I am using!!?? Could
you please kindly point out where the "Products" and "Qroducts" databases are?
Prashanth responded to my posted question too and he asked to to try his code: DECLARE @xml XML, SELECT @xml =' <Qroducts>.....SELECT product.value.....FROM @XML.nodes.....AS.... I just learned that his code is doing the thing we
want to do and print the results below the SQL Query. This is not what I need in doing my SQL/XML programming. I am reading/studying the new (2008) features of T-SQL, XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (Second Edition), and Microsoft XQuery Language Reference
(SQL Server 2012 Books Online) closely now. I hope that I can resume the T-SQL, XML Query, SQL/XML, XQuery in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio soon.
Please tell me where the existing databases "Products" and "Qroducts" I created in my previous trials in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio. This is what I need to know and to delete them, before I do this kind of "Importing
XML file to Table of SQL Server 2012 Management Studio" programming again.
Please kindly help, advise and respond again.
Many Thanks,
Scott Chang

Using WMI alert for mirroring in Sql server 2012

We are using mirroring in Sql Server 2012 and we are using WMI alerts for some of events such as Connection lost,Manual failover,...
In alert definition we have set the followings:
Type: WMI event alert
NameSpace:
\\.\root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ServerEvents\MSSQLSERVER
Query: select * from DATABASE_MIRRORING_STATE_CHANGE where State = 6
The alert is bing triggered correctly,but on email description instead of having meaningful explaination like 'Connection lost',We have the same query:
Query: select * from DATABASE_MIRRORING_STATE_CHANGE where State = 6
We have used the same implementation in our Sql Server 2008 servers and it is working fine.This mashine (Sql Server 2012) is a new mashine.
I would appreciate if someone help me on this.AlsoI checked and 'Include body of e-mail in notification message' was already set.

Ssis - import data from flat file to table (sql server 2012)

i have create a ssis for importing data from flat file to table in sql server 2012.
but i got the below error for some column in data flow task.
error: cannot processed because than one code page (950 and 1252)
anyone helps~

Hi,
The issue occurs because the source flat file uses ANSI/OEM – Tranditional Chinese Big5 encoding. When processing the source file, the flat file connection manager uses code page 950 for the columns. Because SQL Server uses code page to perform conversions
between non-Unicode data and Unicode data, the data in the code page 950 based input columns cannot be loaded to code page 1252 based destination columns. To resolve the issue, you need to load the data into a SQL Server destination table that includes Unicode
columns (nchar or nvarchar), and convert the input columns to Unicode columns via Data Conversion or the Advanced Editor for the Flat File Source at the same time.
Another option that may not be that practical is to create a new database based on the Chinese_Taiwan_Stroke_BIN collation, and load the data to non-Unicode columns directly.
