I have a requirement to report directly on SharePoint data, and I am looking to use the tp_fields data from Lists table to get the mapping between the SQL column name (nvarchar1, nvarchar2,ntext1,int1 etc.) and SharePoint list column name. I will then create some SQL views which represents my data in a more understandable format (that mirrors the SharePoint list.)
This should be in XML format within tp_fields, however I just get the below:
0xA8A930310C000000B4260000789CD55A896EDB4812FD152E77334880698B47F38A6D011E1F13617D04B193 (...but much, much longer!)
Any ideas how to convert this to the XML? Or what the issue is? From my research, the tp_fields should contain a direct mapping between nvarchar1 and SharePoint list field name. But all of the examples I can find for this are around SP 2007 - has something changed between the 2? Is there anywhere else I can find this mapping?
Thanks,
SharePoint 2010 compresses that tp_Fields column now. There are answers elsewhere that show how to decompress it. For example:

Guys!
I have a Sharepoint List, and I'm struggling to customize the webpart to include a new Item.
The need is to create a Dropbox that changes values based in another field in same webform.
Here in this list, I select the Coordinator list, but the problem is I really don't know how to show in Analyst field just the analysts from the coordinator I just choose.
Note: We are using a workspace in Sharepoint 2013, and due adm restrictions we can only use the regular settings, so we can't create custom HTML webparts for example.
i have a custom list in sharepoint portal. i filtered it and export it but it displayed all item in excel. it ignored filtered results. i searched and found sharepoint 2010 doesn't allow get filtered data to excel. After that i found this link: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/400720/SharePoint-2010-Export-Selected-Items-to-Excel and i tried it but it didn't work. i don't understand why. Is there any way export filtered list to excel in sharepoint 2010?
The link you reference only exports "selected" items---ones your put a check next to. With some moderate effort, you could modify the code to only export "filtered" items, but I have found it to be much easier to create views. When you create a view, it will only export the records that appear in that view.
Another approach would be to use the GetListItems Web service to retrieve the items you need to export.
I currently have a simple external content type that displays a very small sql table on a external list in my SharePoint site. The problem is I have a date of birth field that gets formatted with the DateTime type instead of the Date type that is used when I created the SQL table. The biggest issue I am facing is the lack of designer view in SharePoint Designer 2013 that was included in 2010. Since I am forced to work with the source code, how do I go about formatting the date of birth fields so that it is displayed in simple Date format example: 01/01/2001. And also prevent the time from showing when adding or entering a new record to the list.
You could use a SELECT LEFTSQL statement to pull just the relevant information. Are you familiar with this method?
For clarification, here's an example:
CDate(Left([FieldName],10)
While being sure to change [FieldName] to match the field's name in your table.
The content query webpart in sharepoint 2013 fetches only Title. I am pointing to a Content type using it. Even though it contains many columns still Content Query displays only Title.
How can I customize it to point to some columns in that content type?
Also is there any other alternative to get data of columns of a particular content type?
Yes. You need to modify the itemstyle.xsl in the style library, and add a new template that can pull through the columns of your items.
I bring in some data from one Sharepoint List and then need to move it across to another Sharepoint list. When I do this is SSIS I lose the orginally formatting like the new paragraph . Any way to preserve the formatiing ? I take a list from Sharepoint List from 2007 into a sql server database, do some processing and realise that I need this row in another sharepoint list so chute it out using the sharepoint destination SSIS task. Overview of what I am doing .
