Greetings,
I have to run a parametirzed sproc on SQL that can take 5-10 minutes to
complete. The query returns a few megs of data that I want to let the
clients download as a CSV. Any ideas on a quick and dirty way to do this
without invoiking SSIS?
Thanks

You can use bcp but this requires xp_cmdshell nned to be enabled ,if
you call from SQL Server
|||Hi Shkedy,
I recommend that you try using bcp command and Import/Export Data Wizard.
Either of the two methods is very convenient, but Import/Export Data Wizard
may be more convenient for you.
For bcp utility, you can refer to:
bcp Utility
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162802(SQL.90).aspx
For Import/Export Data Wizard, please refer to:
How to: Start the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms140052(SQL.90).aspx
Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel
free to let me know.

Charles Wang

I ended up using C# to implement this by launching a new thread that
traverses a reader and writes a text file. I added some more bells and

File.Delete(Server.MapPath("~") + "\\reports\\" + CreateFileName());
System.Threading.ThreadStart launcher = new System.Threading.ThreadStart(

I have to run a parametirzed sproc on SQL that can take 5-10 minutes to
complete. The query returns a few megs of data that I want to let the
clients download as a CSV. Any ideas on a quick and dirty way to do this
without invoiking SSIS?

You can use bcp but this requires xp_cmdshell nned to be enabled ,if
you call from SQL Server|||Hi Shkedy,
I recommend that you try using bcp command and Import/Export Data Wizard.
Either of the two methods is very convenient, but Import/Export Data Wizard
may be more convenient for you.
For bcp utility, you can refer to:
bcp Utility

I ended up using C# to implement this by launching a new thread that
traverses a reader and writes a text file. I added some more bells and
whistles that I omitted from here but this is the gist of the code:
private void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (Page.IsValid)
{
File.Delete(Server.MapPath("~") + "\\reports\\" + CreateFileName());
System.Threading.ThreadStart launcher = new System.Threading.ThreadStart(
CreateCSVReport);

thread.Start();
Page.RegisterStartupScript("popup", String.Format("<script
language='javascript'>popitup('ReportStatus.aspx?f={0}')</script>'",Cre
ateFileName()));
}
}

Long Label Expression
I have a long expression that returns the value of my one label. The expression is suppose to figure out if there are three parts to the MailAddress field and return the appriopriate number of fields properly formated. The format I need to get returned from this delimited field looks like
PersonIdNumber
CO Line
Name Here
123 Address Street
City State Zip Country
Each line is followed by a semicolon which I have coded to each be replaced by a newline. The main problem is that sometimes we have a CO Line and sometimes we don't. There will be a delimeter right before the AddressStreet Line even if the CO Line does not exist, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Also, the Name Here line is not returned from my delimited MailAddress field, it is a seperate field. For some reason the label returns an error in the report. I'm assuming it is it is in the code below. If you see something wrong with the expression please let me know.
Code Snippet
=IIF(Count(Split(Fields!MailingAddress.Value, ";")) = 3, (LTrim(Replace(Replace(Choose(1, Split(Fields!MailingAddress.Value, ",")),",", " "), ";", " "))& vbcrlf & Fields!Name.Value & vbcrlf & LTrim(Choose(2, Split(Replace(Replace(Fields!MailingAddress.Value, ";", vbcrlf), ",", " "), vbcrlf)))& vbcrlf & LTrim(Choose(3, Split(Replace(Replace(Fields!MailingAddress.Value, ";", vbcrlf), ",", " "), vbcrlf)))), (Fields!Name.Value & vbcrlf & LTrim(Choose(1, Split(Replace(Replace(Fields!MailingAddress.Value, ";", vbcrlf), ",", " "), vbcrlf)))& vbcrlf & LTrim(Choose(2, Split(Replace(Replace(Fields!MailingAddress.Value, ";", vbcrlf), ",", " "), vbcrlf)))))
I'm currently using SSRS 2005...
Hello,
What's the error you're getting when you add the Name field to the expression?
Jarret
|||The error that is returned is for the entire expression (Name field included). The error just looks like your usual label error :
#Error
|||Hello,
If you open the Output window (Ctrl+Alt+O), you should see the actual error message you are getting.
Jarret
|||It is the rsRuntimeErrorinExpression:
The Value expression for the textbox ‘textbox1’ contains an error: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
Preview complete -- 0 errors, 1 warnings
|||Here is a couple of examples of the MailAddress field coming straight from our database:
With CO Line...
RE: 2423 N. First St.;,9838 Witicki Road;,Sandsburg,Ohio,23911;
Without CO Line..
;,9838 Witicki Road;,Sandsburg,Ohio,23911;
Hope this helps!
|||Hello,
The problem was with the Count function call, you can't use it on an array. From your data examples, it looks like you will always have 3 semi-colons to seperate your data (whether or not it has data for that section).
Try this:
Code Snippet
=LTrim(Replace(Switch(Len(Split(Fields!MailingAddress.Value, ";")(0)) > 0, Split(Fields!MailingAddress.Value, ";")(0) & vbCrLf), ",", " "))
& Fields!Name.Value
& vbCrLf & LTrim(Replace(Split(Fields!MailingAddress.Value, ";")(1), ",", " "))
& vbCrLf & LTrim(Replace(Split(Fields!MailingAddress.Value, ";")(2), ",", " "))
Hope this helps.
Jarret
|||Thanks for the quick replies! I tried this and it works with the CO Line, but not without. It chooses the address line to go above the Name field instead of nothing. It looked like this:
9838 Witicki Road
Dan Ricksworth
Sandsburg Ohio 23911
Instead of looking like:
Dan Ricksworth
9838 Witicki Road
Sandsburg Ohio 23911
I have decided to edit our database's MailAddress function that collects and adds the delimeters. I'm going to add the Name field into it and then just use the replace function to add the newlines. Hopefully this will work.
|||I'm a little confused, I used the example data you supplied and got this as the result:
Bob Ricksworth
9838 Witicki Road
Sandsburg Ohio 23911
9838 Witicki Road
Sandsburg Ohio 23911
Is this not the correct format? If the first section of the MailingAddress has a value, then the name is listed 2nd, otherwise, the name is listed first. In the above table, the first row has the CO Line (marked in red), and the second row does not have a CO Line.
This is the expression I used:
Code Snippet
=LTrim(Replace(Switch(Len(Split(Fields!MailingAddress.Value, ";")(0)) > 0, Split(Fields!MailingAddress.Value, ";")(0) & vbCrLf), ",", " "))& Fields!Name.Value
& vbCrLf & LTrim(Replace(Split(Fields!MailingAddress.Value, ";")(1), ",", " "))
& vbCrLf & LTrim(Replace(Split(Fields!MailingAddress.Value, ";")(2), ",", " "))
Jarret
|||Thats weird... I copied and pasted your expression directly into my label and it gave me the wrong format. It probably is my fault. I'm assuming that somewhere I missed a delimeter (either comma or semi-colon) and gave you incorrect data from MailingAddress. Your expression looks right. I'll give you the solution. At this point I have already added the Name field to the MailingAddress field and have got the correct format. It would be too time consuming to go back and test to figure out where I went wrong. Thanks for the help though!|||Yes, that is weird that it showed differently. Oh well, glad to help!
Jarret
