I had a request to post on how you could replace characters within a blob field in the SalesLogix database. Blob fields are database fields that hold any sort of binary information (such as text, images, audio, etc..), but SalesLogix uses them primarily for holding large amounts of text, since you don't have to define a field length. The LongNotes field in the History table is a good example.

I previously posted about using an update trigger to enforce data rules in SalesLogix. Since I was working on another trigger now, I also wanted to post a simple example of an Insert Trigger.

Using pivot queries in SQL is a great tool for rotating data, but what if you need to do something more complicated with multiple data sources and multiple columns? Recently, I had a request to pivot some data from multiple similar tables and to rotate that data into a columnar format.

In a recent project, I had to create a SQL Server Integration Services package to basically copy contact information (which was being stored in the Account.Account field) from the Account table into the Contact table. Since the Contact name was being stored in it's entirety within the account field, I needed a way to parse the Contact information to populate the individual contact name fields in the contact table.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted about using User Defined functions and Cross Apply to parse data in SQL server. The second part of the import I was working on required me to take that parsed data, perform some manipulations, and then recombine that data. Surprisingly, I found that putting that data together was much more difficult then pulling it apart in the first place. After much experimentation, this is what I came up with...

Recently, I worked on an import where I spent a considerable amount of time working out how to effectively parse data from a SQL table, for insertion into another table.

In a recent project, I used triggers to enforce some data rules in the Ticket area of SalesLogix. We did this because our client was using both the LAN as well as the Web clients. We were having some difficulty seeing changes in the LAN client when values were set in the Web, and vice-versa.

Did you know that you can include SQL views in SalesLogix? This can be a very handy method to include data that is not normally part of SalesLogix. It is important to note, that these changes are not sync-aware. However if you are running SalesLogix LAN in a network only environment, this can be a helpful way to include data from external sources.

Picklists in SalesLogix are a very useful tool, but did you know you could also you values from an existing picklist to populate other list-based controls such as ComboBoxes, CheckListBoxes, ListViews... even Radio groups? You simply need an understanding of the structure of picklists in SalesLogix:
