If I have a SQL SERVER 2012 table containing an XML field type. The records it could contain are as follows. I have simplified my problem to the following. Record 1: ID_FIELD='nn1' XML_FIELD= <KNOWN_NAME_1> <UNKNOWN_NAME1>Some value</UNKNOWN_NAME1> <UNKNOWN_NAME2>Some value</UNKNOWN_NAME2> ... Maybe more ... </KNOWN_NAME_1> Record 2: ID_FIELD='nn2' XML_FIELD= <KNOWN_NAME_2> <UNKNOWN_NAME1>Some value</UNKNOWN_NAME1> <UNKNOWN_NAME2>Some value</UNKNOWN_NAME2> ... Maybe more unknown fields ... </KNOWN_NAME_2> I want to output non xml: UNKNOWN_NAME1 | UNKNOWN_NAME2 | ETC ---------------------------

Environment: SQL Server 2012 I'm using an online tool, the only one I could find so far, to plot polygons and points on the earth. http://www.birdtheme.org/useful/googletool.html I have two tables. One stores "areas" as polygons and the other table stores points amongst other things irrelevant to my question. For simplicity, I'll just reduce my scenario to sql variables. In the query below, I'm using the geography data type for well known points of interest. I drew a polygon around Robben Island, a point in Robben Island and a point in Alcatraz. DECLARE @robben_island geography = ('POLYGON((18

I know there's many of the same subjected question here in SO, my question is if I want to delete say around 1K rows rather few, given a List<int> of RecordID , I could avoid using a DataTable , and send the list translated into a statement: string ParmRecordsToDelete_CsvWhereIN = "(" for(int CurIdx=0; CurIdx < RecIdsToDelete.Count; CurIdx++) { ParmRecordsToDelete_CsvWhereIN += RecIdsToDelete[CurIdx] + ", "; //this method to create passed parameter //logic to remove on last Coma on last Index.. //or use stringJoin and somehow remove the last coma } ParRecordsToDelete_CsvWhereIN +=")"; This

All I want to do is update a field with the DIRECT CURRENT SYMBOL FORM TWO ⎓ character into my SQL Server 2012 database. Is that too much to ask? Apparently it is. The answer to this question and this question is the same and did not work for me. My update script UPDATE Table SET Value = N'SUPPLY 9-30Vdc 0.2W ⎓' WHERE id = '1234' Aaaaand the relevant table schema: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table] ( ... ...

I'm using Management Studio 2012 but I'm not able to debug any SQL code. After I hit the Debug button I'm not getting any green arrow on the left side and none of my SQL object are being loaded to the memory. I'm getting this message when I move my cursor over the breakpoint I set: The breakpoint will not currently be hit. Unable to bind SQL breakpoint at this time. Object containing the breakpoint not loaded.

how does one programmatically create a localdb .mdf? acceptable solutions exclude visual studio, ssms, aspnet_regsql. a naive stab at a solution might look like this: static void Main(string[] args) { using (var con = new SqlConnection(@"Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=test.mdf")) { con.Open(); using (var cmd = new SqlCommand("CREATE DATABASE test", con)) { cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); } } } but of course, this fails in SqlConnection.Open with the error An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file test.mdf failed.
