Help,
I have a client that requres me to add a header line and trailer line to a flat file. The trick is the header and footer row is required to have a length of 120 with 5 colunmns while the data included in the query has a length of 1125 and about 70 columns. How can I append a header row to a file through SSIS.

I have an existing table I need to add data to. The data is in a text file, and the existing table already has data in it (I don't want to delete this I want to add to it).
I used Microsoft's import utility but this created a seperate table with generic fieldnames (column01, column02, ect). Is there a step in this wizard I missed?
I need to write a sql statement to retrieve column headers and rows from 2 different tables.

Well, we can add another table footer row by right-clicking on the footer row of the table and select, Inser Row Above, or, Insert Row Below.
But, I want to set different values to same properties of rows. Such as;
Row3.RepeatOnNewPage = False
Row4.RepeatOnNewPage = True
What do you say ?

OK. We know there is Header rows to skip options and it works great.
I've got the file that has a "footer". Here is an example:
.
PSC
filename=table1
records=0000000000525
ldbname=db1
timestamp=2006/02/07-16:25:00
numformat=44,46
dateformat=mdy-1910
map=NO-MAP
cpstream=ISO8859-1
.
0000260611
It's ALWAYS last 12 rows.
Is there a way to split at this point and put the 12 rows in a different location? The task is twofold - I don't need these control rows in my data and I need value of "records" to verify loaded number of rows.
UPDATED: After some testing I found out that the Flat File source does not see that footer at all. This is good and bad - I do want to load this metedat into some other tables.

Hi,
Im creatting an SSIS project that uses an Data Flow OLE DB Source to read data from an SQL Table and import it into a Destination table using Data Flow OLE DB Destination. but now everytime I run the project it appends all the rows not the new data rows only. How can I make the application so that it appends only the new data from a source table to a destination table. Is there maybe another Data Flow Control that can copy source table to destination and the next time it runs it only copy new rows. or any other way to do this using SSIS.
Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

I have excel files where the column headers I care about are on line 5, and the actual data doesn't begin until line 6. Other than deleting the first 4 lines, which is impractical, how can I get the Excel Connection Manager to import the data correctly? I was able to do this under DTS, so I have to imagine it's possible.
Thanks!
I'm trying to append rows horizontally - I'm using the "xml path" approach
SELECT
E.[USER_NAME] As 'User Name',
(
SELECT ',' + C.[PERMISSION_NAME]
FOR XML PATH('')
) As [Associated Groups]
FROM TABLEA As A
JOIN TABLEB AS B ON A.PK_OBJ_ID = B.FK_APP_OBJECT_REF
JOIN TABLEC AS C ON C.PK_PERMISSION_ID = B.FK_PERMISSION_REF
JOIN TABLED AS D ON D.FK_PERMISSION_REF = C.PK_PERMISSION_ID
JOIN TABLEE AS E ON E.PK_PERSONNEL_ID = D.FK_PERSONNEL_REF
WHERE A.[OBJECT_NAME] = 'MyObjectName'
It's not working. I'm getting:
User nameAssociated Groups
A. SmithG1
A. SmithG2
A. SmithG3
etc...
What I'm looking for is:
User NameAssociated Groups
A. SmithG1, G2, G3
etc...
Hi
I know this is going to sound embarassingly obvious, but i cannot find a quick solution.
I have some data, I display that data in a table. Simple so far.
I have a table footer, which I want to display the total number of rows returned.
For example
"Total Rows Returned ="
Now I know how to get the total rows returned:
CountRows("Dataset1")
However when I try to put the two together like this:
= "Total Rows Returned =" + CountRows("Dataset1")
I just get the whole thing outputted, and no total for totalrows...
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Hello,
I am having a problem trying to do some conditional formatting on the text color.
This textbox is in the Group Footer so i essentially want change the color to red if the SUM of one field in the group is less than the SUM of another field in the same group.
I am doing this:
=Iif(Sum(Fields!YTDChargeHours)< Sum(Fields!YTDForecast), "Red", "Black")
but i am getting this error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Color expression for the textbox €˜YTDChargeHours€™ contains an error: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
Thanks in advance!
The Sql Server database can only see the local drive.
I would like to set up a batch file that will copy a SQL Server
backup file from the local drive to the network drive. I would
like to append the file date to the end of the copied file. I
assume a batch file can accomplish this but I am new to batch
file writing. Does anyone have code that they already created
for this sort of task??
Thank you!
we can easily load a file into db tables. However, my main concern here is the number of columns in the file. A text file TEXT_1400.txt has 1400 columns. I am unable to load data to my db table using BCP or BULK INSERT commands, as maximum of 1024 columns are allowed per table in SQL Server 2008.Â
We can still go ahead and create ‘Wide Table’ (a special table that holds up to 30,000 columns. The maximum size of a wide table row is 8,019 bytes.). But when operating on wide table, BCP/BULK INSERT commands still fail. After few hours of scratching my head over BCP and BULK INSERT, I observed that while inserting BCP/BULK INSERT commands are unable to identify SPARSE columns and skip these columns, which disturbs column mapping and results in data conversion and trancation errors.
Â
Is there any proper way to load this kind of files into the db table?Â
I have a single table that consist of 4 columns. Entity, ParamName, ParamsValue and ParamiValue. This table stores normalized Late Fee related parameters for apartments. The Entity field contains a code that identifies the apartment complex. The ParamName in a textual field that contains the name of the parameter that the other 2 fields define the value for; ParamsValue and ParamiValue. If the Late Fee parameter (as named in ParamName is something numerical then the value for that parameter can be found in ParamiValue else its in ParamsValue.
I don't know if 'Pivot' is the correct term to use for describing what I am trying to do because I've looked at the Pivot examples and I don't see how that will work for this. Using the Table and data as provided below, how would I construct a query so that I get 1 row per Entity in which the columns are the ParamsValue or ParamiValue for the ParamName listed in the column header (for the query)?
Below is the DDL to create the table and populate it.

[Entity] [varchar](16) NULL,

I apparently have corrupted my file header on my database, and then copied it to my backup database.
Is there some way
1. to have the machine recreate the file header automatically? and fix it so that I can use the database
or
2. a back door into the database so that I can get the text files of my database to reconstruct the database from scratch.
The error mesage I receive is:
Database schema could not be retrieved for this connection. Please make sure the connection settings are correct and that the datase is online.
the header for fil c:inetpubwwwrootappapfinalAPP_DataASPNETDB.MDF is not a valide database header. The File Size property is incorrect.
Thank you
I want to loop through rows and append values to a declared variable. The example below returns nothing from Print @output, it's as if my @output variable is being reset on every iteration.

set @i = 1
while @i < 10
begin
set @output = @output + convert(varchar(max),@i) + ','
print @output
set @i = @i +1

I am exporting SSRS report to Excel I am aware that excel doesn't show footer , It shows in print preview but my footer has text box which have text disclaimer more than 255 characters, the data getting truncated.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm writing to a flat file destination (CSV file) which contains 2 header rows, lets call it Col1 and Col2.
For some reason, the header rows seem to get duplicated in the output - i.e.
Col1,Col2

C,D
Is there any way to resolve this?

Hi All.
I am building an SSIS job that will export some data to a csv then ftp it to a remote site.
I have been able to create the csv alright, but I need to add header and footer lines to the csv.
The header must be:
Filename+ crlf (will not change)
File type+ crlf (will not change)
Create date+ crlf (obviously changes) -- format is mmddyyyy as text
And the footer is:
Filename+ crlf (will not change)
File type+ crlf (will not change)
Create date+ crlf (obviously changes) -- format is mmddyyyy as text
Total rows+ crlf (obviously changes)
So I need to first open the file, count the number of rows, then add the header and footer lines.
I would like to do this as a step in ssis, as a function (not by calling a compiled assembly or anything like that). I have no experience with vb.net, and haven't been able to find any snippets on the web that seem to work. Can anybody lend a hand? thx. David
