Save files from SQL DB and Sharepoint 2003

I am needing to save a bunch of files from our Sharepoint 2003 site. I have figured out that they are stored in an SQL database on the server. The only problem is, I honestly have no clue how to retrieve them. Help? Please?

Nope, you can patch in either order. Should not be any conflicts.

Generating XML from SQL queries and saving to an xml file?

Hi there,
I was wondering if somebody could help with regards to the following:
Generating XML from SQL queries and saving to a xml file?
We want to have a procedure(PL/SQL) that accepts an order number as an input parameter(the procedure
is accessed by our software on the client machine).
Using this order number we do a couple of SQL queries.
My first question: What would be our best option to convert the result of the
queries to xml?
Second Question: Once the XML has been generated, how do we save that XML to a file?
(The XML file is going to be saved on the file system of the server that
the database is running on.)
Now our procedure will also have a output parameter which returns the filename to us. eg. Order1001.xml
Our software on the client machine will then ftp this XML file(based on the output parameter[filename]) to
the client hard drive.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you,
Francois

If you are using 9iR2 you do not need to do any of this..
You can create an XML as an XMLType using the new SQL/XML operators. You can insert this XML into the XML DB repository using DBMS_XDB.createResource. You can then access the document from the resource. You can also return the XMLType containing the XML directly from the PL/SQL Procedure.

How do I import a SPSS .sav file into SQL 2008 r2 using SSIS

Hi there,
Like the title says, I'm trying to import an SPSS .SAV file into an SQL 2008 R2 database using SSIS.
I've tried a few things, but i cant seem to get it to work properly. I'm hoping there's someone out there who could point me in the right direction.
I've tried the following:
Tried the IBM step by step manual (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v6r0m1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Faccess_odbc.htm)
--Couldnt folow this guide because I didnt have the SPSS MR DM-2 OLE DB Provider.
Tried installing the provider using (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Fdts_troubleshooting.htm) as a guide to download the provider listed (www-03.ibm.com/software/products/nl/spss-data-model).
--This didnt work, I still could not see the provider listed after install and rebooting the server.
Tried to get the file as CSV (Company couldnt provide it in CSV or another format)
The server is a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64-bit, has the Data Collection Data Model installed on it with SQL Server 2008 R2.
If anyone could point me in the right direction they could make my day!
Thanks in advance!
Ronny

Hi Ronny,
According to your description, you want to import a SPSS .sav file to SQL Server 2008 R2 database. If that is the case, we can achieve this requirement with SPSS or SQL query. For more details, please refer to the following methods:

Can I use my time capsule to back up or save files from my pc?

My time capsule works great with my 2 Macs. I just got a PC and would like to know if I can use the time capsule to back up or save files from my PC?

You can.. but obviously PC is missing TM.. so you will need to use a backup software.
Saving files to the TC is not really recommended.. but as long as you have lots of space is unlikely to cause problems.. the whole idea of TM though is to keep incremental backups on an hourly basis and will slowly fill the TC.. once space is short.. it can get messy.
Also read Pondini who is positively against using it for other files.
http://pondini.org/TM/TCQ3.html
I suggest you read .. skim at least the FAQ so you actually understand what TM - TC is all about.
A USB drive plugged into the PC makes a better backup
1. It is formatted NTFS, ie native format and readable by any windows computer. A TC is a network device.
2. USB drives are cheap. You can use 2 of them and store one offsite.
3. USB traffic is not on the network.
4. Storing files on the TC is bad as it is a backup target not itself backed up.
5. In a pc you can add drive after drive after drive.. (assuming a desktop since you didn't say laptop). Only a Mac Pro can do that in the Mac world.. internal drives are cheaper than a. USB drives, b. network drives. And they are 10x or more faster.

How do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive

how do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive

Your external drive is formatted NTFS which OS X can read from but not write to. You can either install third-party software on the Mac to enable writing to the drive or repartition and reformat the drive for exclusive use with the Mac. If you don't need to move files between a Mac and a PC, then I would recommend the latter solution.
Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.2
NTFS for Mac OS X 9.5.3
To repartition:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select the external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Pull data from SQL Table and display it in mail

I have a requirement to pull the data from SQL table and send it in email. Currently I am sending the hard coded info in email but is it possible to pull some data from SQL Table and than format it and send it across in the same email?
Can you guide me with steps on this.
Neil

There are several ways to do this. First is to populate a file in a data flow and then send that as an attachment in the send mail task.
As far as including the results in the email body this becomes a bit trickier. To use a variable you would need to use an SSIS variable type of
Object, this is similar to a collection in .NET. The problem once the object is populated is that it isn't like a readable result set, but again more like an array or a collection. There is no native method to take the object variable and
specify .ToString() or cast its results as text. You would need to iterate through each row and append it to another variable of type string, this could be done with a script task or ForEach container.
Also you mentioned formatting the results. What type of formatting were you looking for. A limitation of the SMTP send mail task is that the message body doesn't support HTML so if you were looking at creating a table within the mail body you
would have to use a script task or a custom component

How to generate XML file from SQL file !

I am new to XML publisher. I known one way to generate XML file is register one report file in concurrent manager.
But I want to generate XML file from sql file.
Could someone show me how to code in sql file, how to register is in concurrent manager.
Thanks !

Hi
Phew ... not sure we have the space here. So I can point you in the right direction:
1. XML data generation - there are two packages in the db you can use with a plsql procedure, XMLGEN and SQL XML. You can also use java APIs too. Try checking the db documentation and search for the above methods.
2. Registering the report - the system administrators guide will provide this info. Hooking the program up with XMLP is covered here - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/publishing/resource/CM%20Whitepaper5.0.pdf

Script command to Save File From Portfolio

What's the script command to Save File From Portfolio?
Do you know?

Hi,
We were looking for that before: Exporting XFA PDF from within Portfolio
Paul exposed the menu items and while I was hopefully that app.execMenuItem("ExtractFilesFromPackage"); would work - but it didn't.
It transpires that only a few of the app.execMenuItem commands are unrestricted and available.
So we continue to use the "open"button on the top right of the portfolio to open the file out of the portfolio:
I think you are stuck with that,

SQL database and SharePoint integration

I am looking for material on how to work with sql databases and sharepoint.
Is it possible to use an SQL database, with foreign key relations, in a sharepoint list?
What I am looking to is as follows:
Have 2 tables in SQL Server, with a reference from one, to another.
Have the ability to input and edit both tables from a sharepoint online external list.
SQL Table 1:
Id code
name
SQL Table 2:
Arrival Date
lot #
idCode
idCode references Table 1 id Code
Sharepoint List A
List of Table 1
Sharepoint List B
List of table 2, with the ability to add its to it, that will reference table 1.
I can not find any material or other ares focusing on this subject. You assistance would be appreciated.

What you're after is an External List. There are some details (and much of the configuration is on links in this page) here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj683119(v=office.15).aspx

How do a scan a file from my scanner and make it a PDF. . . . I do not see this choice in the Adobe program?
In the past I would simply place a copy of the document on my scanner, then selected create PDF from scanner. However, there is now no create PDF from scanner alternative, option or choice. The only option available is selected file to convert to PDF. what am I to do?

That would have been a function of your scanning software. Adobe Reader is only used to view the pdf that your scanning software created.
