How to manage RTE text directly in the DB ?

Hi all,
I store my Rich-Text files in my SQL2000 database.
I want to add a line at the end... it's very easy in my VB application with
a Rich Text control... but how to do that directly in the database (via a
Trigger) ?
Does SQL2000 have Rich Text function or show I use an external (Windows)
component ?
Lilian.
SQL Server 2000 has no knowledge of the contents of your character strings.
Content could be RTF, HTML XML, etc.
It might be possible to build the desired RTF string in Transact-SQL but I
don't know enough about RTF formatting codes to say for sure. Maintaining
RTF content is a job best done in application code rather than Transact-SQL.
Another option is to write an ActiveX control or extended stored procedure
to manipulate RTF strings that could be invoked from Transact-SQL.
Hope this helps.

how to make report parameter value change dynamic when run time?

Dear all,

i have 2 parameter [startDate] [endDate].
startDate will basic on the day run report to get the start date from system(follow the store procedure) as below.

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[CFSRep_spGetLastWeekMonDate]
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @.dtStart DATETIME
-- SET @.dtStart = GetDate() --Set Date to Todays Date
--Set Start Date to 6 days before. If its a Sunday it will get this weeks Monday Date, else any day before will get the past weeks Monday Date
SELECT @.dtStart = dateadd(dd, -6, Getdate())
WHILE (datepart(dw, @.dtStart) != 2) --While its not Day 2 (Monday)
BEGIN
SELECT @.dtStart = dateadd(dd, -1, @.dtStart) --Set the Start Date to a day before
END

SET @.dtStart = CONVERT(DATETIME, FLOOR(CONVERT(FLOAT, @.dtStart))) --Set the time to 00:00:00 AM

SELECT @.dtStart as LastWeekFirstDay
--

END
GO


endDate will get the date after the startDate is process. let say the answer as below.
SELECT DATEADD(dd, 4, @.startDate) as endDate

when i get the startDate = 30th Jan 2006, then the endDate = 3rd Feb 2006

then when i preview report, and i change the parameter of the date on start date to 23rd Jan 2006 but the endDate still the same 3rd Feb 2006.

anyway for me to refesh the endDate to 27th Jan 2006?

Hi Terence,

first of all you can use visual basic functions like Today etc. to get the startdate. In case of that you must not go to the database.

then you can try the following steps:

1. define 2 parameters (startdate + enddate)

2. in the enddate-dataset define a parameter @.startDate and set it to =Parameters!StartDate.Value.

3. make your 'SELECT DATEADD(dd, 4, @.startDate) as endDate' statement.

Now the reportservice should set in the endate-parameter the startdate-param +4 days.

hope this will work for you

how to lock the store procedure and allow one process to acces it at a time

Hello:

I run one process that calls the following the store procedure and
works fine.

create PROCEDURE sp_GetHostSequenceNum
AS
BEGIN

SELECT int_parameter_dbf + 1
FROM system_parameter_dbt
WHERE parameter_name_dbf = 'seqNum'

UPDATE system_parameter_dbt
SET int_parameter_dbf = int_parameter_dbf + 1
WHERE parameter_name_dbf = 'seqNum'

END
GO

If I run two processes that call the above store procedure, I might
occasionally get the dirty data of int_parameter_dbt. I guess that is
caused by two processes accessing to the same resource simultaneously.
Is there any way to lock the store procedure call from MSSQL Server
and allow only one process to access it at a time?

Thanks for help.

Here is one possible approach, using an UPDATE syntax specific to MSSQL:

create PROCEDURE sp_GetHostSequenceNum
AS
BEGIN

declare @.val int

UPDATE system_parameter_dbt
SET @.val = int_parameter_dbf = int_parameter_dbf + 1
WHERE parameter_name_dbf = 'seqNum'

select @.val

END
GO

Alternatively, you can use a locking hint:

create PROCEDURE sp_GetHostSequenceNum
AS
BEGIN

begin tran

SELECT int_parameter_dbf + 1
FROM system_parameter_dbt with (UPDLOCK)
WHERE parameter_name_dbf = 'seqNum'

UPDATE system_parameter_dbt
SET int_parameter_dbf = int_parameter_dbf + 1
WHERE parameter_name_dbf = 'seqNum'

commit

END
GO

Simon|||Sure. You could do it transactionally at serializable isolation level...

How to list (Export to txt) the Built-In and User Store Procedures

Good afternoon,
How can I export a list of Built-In and User Made Stored Procedures on an

Hi
How about querying sys.objects? If you want to do this manually save the
output from SSMS or use output option for SQLCMD, or use a query with BCP!
