    Converting Dates During DTS Import

    Hi How do I go about converting a US date in a CSV into a UK date on DTS into SQL Server? I've had a play with transformations but it doesn't seem to like them in the slightest Should I go with my instinct and "massage" the dates initially as varchar in an intermidiary table first?

    ODBC DAO Faster than ADO?!?

    I'm trying, successfully in most cases, to extract data from systems dependent on a system DSN. Oddly if I use a simple query file and run this through excel I have no problems at all. However, when wrapping the query into an application using the following very innocuous code I often have a...

    Below is the bare bones of the Sproc I'm working with. Not only is there some nasty string parsing in there but the declared parameters are not helping the speed side of things either. Can this be split in two? Say a UDF or calling Sproc that will pass the name, strength and pack parameters to...
