I'm working on a rather complex report in Sql Server Reporting Services. My SP returns a dynamic number of columns each of which are dynamically named. Basically think of a time keeping application. Each column that is dynamic represents a time bucket that time was charged to for that team. If no time was charged to that bucket for the period of time the report covers it doesn't show. Each bucket has its own identifier which i need to be the column headers. I have an SP that returns this all. It does it by doing a bit of dynamic SQL with an exec statement (ugly i know but I'm on SQL 2000 so a

I have got following error message while restoring a backup from SQL Server 2000 to the latest version. I do not know the old version, now I am using SQL Server 2012 (11.0.3128.0). The error message is: Msg 3169, Level 16, State 1, Server FF101, Line 1 The database was backed up on a server running version 8.00.0760.

We just want to get the CSV data into the SQL database quickly and extract the relevant columns. I'd like to supply the FieldTerminator and RowTerminator, point it at the CSV, and have the

I have a stored procedure in SQL Server 2000 that performs a search based on parameter values. For one of the parameters passed in, I need a different WHERE clause depending on its value - the problem is that the 3 values would be where MyColumn IS NULL IS NOT NULL ANY VALUE (NULL AND NOT NULL) (essentially no WHERE clause) I'm having some mental block in coming up with the correct syntax. Is this possible to do in one select statement without performing some IF @parameter BEGIN ... END branching?

Basically perform s/&lt[^;]/</gi Notes: must work in MS SQL Server 2000 Must be repeatable (and not end up with <;;;;;;;;; ) Some hacking required but we can do this with LIKE , PATINDEX , LEFT AND RIGHT and good old string concatenation. create table test ( id int identity(1, 1) not null, val varchar(25) not null ) insert into test values ('< <- ok, &lt <- nok') while 1 = 1 begin update test set val = left(val, patindex('%&lt[^;]%', val) - 1) + '<' + right(val, len(val) - patindex('%&lt[^;]%', val) - 2) from test
