DTS wizard is not allowing me to append the data to a text file. Every time I run DTS and choose the destination to be this text file (say A.txt), it overwrites the data. I have a table whose data I am dumping to a text file. I truncate the table, then get the data again into it and want to append it to the same text file. But I end up overwriting the text file with the new data.
Kindly let me know where I am going wrong.
Hi all,
I am having a problem with a DTS package I am writing. The package is getting text from a table and putting it out to a text file. I have most of it sorted, and contains text like this:
PN,GEN,T_KI-3,2006-01-24 00:30,480,2006-01-24 01:00,480
PN,GEN,T_KI-2,2006-01-24 00:40,484,2006-01-24 02:00,482
PN,GEN,T_KI-3,2006-01-24 00:50,490,2006-01-24 05:00,486
What I need is a line at the end of the text which is:
<EOF>
So the output from this will look like:
PN,GEN,T_KI-3,2006-01-24 00:30,480,2006-01-24 01:00,480
PN,GEN,T_KI-2,2006-01-24 00:40,484,2006-01-24 02:00,482
PN,GEN,T_KI-3,2006-01-24 00:50,490,2006-01-24 05:00,486
<EOF>
I am having problems adding the line at the end of the text file. Can anyone advice me of a good solution or show me where I amn going wrong?
TAI,
Gee
I would like to update a field that already has data in it and I dont' want to overwrite the existing text. Here is my existing statement
UPDATE wr SET cf_notes = " + tmp_array(24) + " WHERE wr_id = " + data_temp(0)
I would like to add cf_notes + tmp_array(24) to cf_notes. Is this possible in SQL? If so, what is the correct syntax. I have tried 6 different statements and I get a compile error on every statement.
Thanks,

I wish I had a better idea about how to describe this but here goes. I'm trying to display a list of majors/minors/graduate programs for a particular user. Now, I've gotten it display perfectly and was able to append (Graduate), (Major), (Minor) to each of the 3 different sections. My question is is it possible to add like rows that don't actually exist in table to the beginning of the select? For instance I want to add All and General before the rest of the select. I was also wondering where I should do a group by cuz I'd like to keep it in blocks of like graduates then majors and finally minors but currently it is just doing it alphabetically...Anyways below are the tables and at the end the current stored procedure i'm using, which works great...just not to the degree I'm aiming for.

Hello all! I have a dts package exporting a text file. I would like for the dts job to append to the end of the file each time it is ran, rather than overwriting it. Is there a simple solution for this?
Thanks
I have subscription records for five different magazine titles that i process by looping each one though a dataflow using a for-each loop. I am using the following instructions to append to the raw file: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/12/01/2443.aspx
This works fine when I pass four different magazine titles. when i try to run all of the titles(five), i get the following errors:
[Raw File Destination [131195]] Warning: The parameter is incorrect.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Raw File Destination" (131195) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0x80070057.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hello guys,
here is my issue.
I created a ssis package which exports the data from oledb source to flat file (csv format). For this i have OLEDB source and Flat File as destination. I generate the file and filename dynamically with the column names in the first row. So if the dynamically generated file name already exists , then i want to append the data in the same existing file. But I dont want to append the column names again. I just want to append the rows to the existing rows.
so lets say first time i generate a file called File1_3132008.csv.
Col1, Col2
1,2
3,4
After some days if my ssis package generates the same file name i.e. File1_3132008.csv, this time i just want to append the rows to the existing file. So the file should look like this-
Col1, Col21,23,45,67,8
But instead my file looks like this if i set Overwrite propery to false
Col1,Col2
1,2
3,4
Col1,Col2
5,6
7,8
Can anyone help me to get the file as shown in the highlighed
Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks
Hi,
I am looking for a way to combine two text files into one file. I am thinking of using a batch file (DOS command ) to do it. Any suggestion please?
Hi,
I want to create a text file and write to text it by calling its assembly from Stored Procedure. Full Detail is given below
I write a code in class to create a text file and write text in it.
1) I creat a class in Visual Basic.Net 2005, whose code is given below:
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class WLog
Public Shared Sub LogToTextFile(ByVal LogName As String, ByVal newMessage As String)
Dim w As StreamWriter = File.AppendText(LogName)
LogIt(newMessage, w)
w.Close()
End Sub
Public Shared Sub LogIt(ByVal logMessage As String, ByVal wr As StreamWriter)
wr.Write(ControlChars.CrLf & "Log Entry:")
wr.WriteLine("(0) {1}", DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(), DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString())
wr.WriteLine(" :")
wr.WriteLine(" :{0}", logMessage)
wr.WriteLine("---------------------------")
wr.Flush()
End Sub
Public Shared Sub LotToEventLog(ByVal errorMessage As String)
Dim log As System.Diagnostics.EventLog = New System.Diagnostics.EventLog
log.Source = "My Application"
log.WriteEntry(errorMessage)
End Sub
End Class
2) Make & register its assembly, in SQL Server 2005.
3)Create Stored Procedure as given below:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SP_LogTextFile
(
@LogName nvarchar(255), @NewMessage nvarchar(255)
)
AS EXTERNAL NAME
[asmLog].[WriteLog.WLog].[LogToTextFile]
4) When i execute this stored procedure as
Execute SP_LogTextFile 'C:Test.txt','Message1'
5) Then i got the following error
Msg 6522, Level 16, State 1, Procedure SP_LogTextFile, Line 0
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'SP_LogTextFile':
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:Test.txt' is denied.

Hey All,
Similar to a previous post (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=244646&SiteID=1), I am trying to import data into a SQL Table.
I am trying to program a small application that will import product data obtained through suppliers via CD-ROM. One supplier in particular uses Fixed width colums, and data looks like this:
Example of Data
0124015Apple Crate 32.12
0124016Bananna Box 12.56
0124017Mango Carton 15.98
0124018Seedless Watermelon 42.98
My Table would then have:
ProductID as int
Name as text
Cost as money
How would I go about extracting the data with an XML Format file? I am stumbling over how to tell it where to start picking up data for a specific column.
Is there any way that I could trim the Name column (i.e.: "Mango Carton " --> "Mango Carton")?
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I've been calling SQL from my code by doing this:
Code in C# Form
SqlConnection SqlConnection = new SqlConnection(global::SQLClients.Properties.Settings.Default.ClientPhonebookConnectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO PhonebookTable(Name, PhoneNumber) VALUES('" + txtName.Text.ToString() + "', '" + txtPhoneNumber.Text.ToString() + "')";
cmd.Connection = SqlConnection;
SqlConnection.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
SqlConnection.Close();
RefreshData();
I am running Visual Studio C# Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.
Thanks for your time,
Hayden.
What is the easiest way to accomplish this task with SSIS?
Basically I have a stored procedure that unions multiple queries between databases. I need to be able to export this to a text file on a daily basis and add a total records: row to the end of the text file.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello Experts,
I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle).
PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.
Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not..
What should go here ?
->Under Class A
public override DTSExecResult Execute(Connections connections, VariableDispenser variableDispenser, IDTSComponentEvents componentEvents, IDTSLogging log, object transaction)
{
//Some code to read file and write it into new file
return DTSExecResult.Success;
}
public const string Property_Task = "CustomErrorControl";
public const string Property_SourceConnection = "SourceConnection";
public void LoadFromXML(XmlElement node, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)
{
if (node.Name != Property_Task)
{
throw new Exception(String.Format("Invalid task element '{0}' in LoadFromXML.", node.Name));
}
else
{
try
{
_sourceConnectionId = node.Attributes.GetNamedItem(Property_SourceConnection).Value;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
infoEvents.FireError(0, "LoadFromXML", ex.Message, "", 0);
}
}
}
public void SaveToXML(XmlDocument doc, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)
{
try
{
// // Create Task Element
XmlElement taskElement = doc.CreateElement("", Property_Task, "");
doc.AppendChild(taskElement);
// // Save source FileConnection
XmlAttribute sourcefileAttribute = doc.CreateAttribute(Property_SourceConnection);
sourcefileAttribute.Value = _sourceConnectionId;
taskElement.Attributes.Append(sourcefileAttribute);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
infoEvents.FireError(0, "SaveXML", ex.Message, "", 0);
}
}
In UI Class there is OK Click event.
private void btnOK_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
_taskHost.Properties[CustomErrorControl.Property_SourceConnection].SetValue(_taskHost, propertyGrid1.Text);
btnOK.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;

Hi,
I am pulling text files in gzip format from UNIX system. I want to unzip these files and then import data from these files into database using SSIS.
Is the merge method, what will work in this case ? I have two datatables with the exact same structure. How can I append the rows from table 2 onto the bottom of table 1 ? Is looping through the rows collection the only way ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to append the current row ID to a string I am trying to

AddNewListing.InsertListing (Bathrooms.Text, Bedrooms.Text,

I am writing a stored procedure in SQL 2000 where an incomming variable is a string of characters (a couple of sentences) and I want to add that to the existing string of characters in a table field called "Comments".
I do not know how to append the text in a field. How is that best done?
The basic function of the procedure is to take whatever string is passed to it and append it to the current contents of the field "Comments". As the procedure is ran over and over again, the field is constantly appended with the incomming text.
What is the best way to do this? Can anyone give me an example?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI have two tables that have the same column names, data type and length in each. The only difference is that one is the USA ( COUNTRY) and the other is International ( COUNTRY ). I want to make these two tables into one table.

We're running SQL 6.5 SP3, we recycle our SQL server every day, somehow starting last December, the errorlog kept appending to the previous one
without starting a new log, and it keeps on growing,
any one knows anywhere I should look into ?
If SQL behaves properly, it should starts a new log after each recycle.
I checked from Technet this problem may occur in 4.2 but I haven't seen anything in 6.5....Thanks

When I create a db backup on our network using BACKUP DATABASE...

I've specified the NOINIT so that it appends rather than overwrites the database, however the database is still overwritten.
Any idea how to get the database to backup and append to the set rather than overwrite the backup ?

Quick question regarding log backup files.
Currently I have a maintenance plan running a Full backup weekly, differential backups nightly, and log backups hourly. The log backups are all going into a single backup file - but it's hard to see what's going on behind the scenes here.
Does this file get 'reset' when the full backup is performed? Will it just keep growing indefinitely and should I be creating new files for each log backup, or manually deleting the file each week during the full backup task?
Thanks

(SQL 7 on NT Server)
I want to append a table with 1200 rows, using DTS. While I know it is better to do while no one is using the database, exactly what impact will it have if I do this while the database is online? Which leads me to my next question: Exactly what operations can I do while the db is online, and what ones should I not even think of. Most of my needs are data imports and exports. I haven't found much in Online Books about this. Any help would be appreciated very much.

hi,
unfortunaly i have two tables where usernames are stored. in the one table the column is called 'remote_U' in the other 'remote_u' ... note the upper case
so want to generate listof all usernames and retrieve them in a single a column.
like
SELECT DISTINCT remote_U FROM table1 APPEND (SELECT DISTINCT remote_u FROM table 2)
i have tried joins and groups, but is not working. can i also do an alphabetical order after appending the second select? distinct is needed, 'cos one user may have more then one entry in the table, but may be also in both tables ....
Hey All,
I am currently backing up a SQL 2000 Database by doing full backups everynight. I would like to cut this back to once a week and do differential backups during the week. BUT... How can I do differential backups without appending or overwriting the night befores backup? I'm sure this can be done through command line but im not exactly sure of the process. If anyone can help please post...
Thanks,
Jared
I am having a
Source Table: #test1(studID, FIrstNAme,LasteName)
Target Table: #Test2(StudID, UserName)
Now I want to create usernames from #test1 by considering first character of first name and last name and if same combination found then append with 01.
Example if #test1 contains data as below:
1,Abhas, Pawar
2, Arun, Pawar
3, Ashis, Panday
Then i want to create username like:
apawar
apawar01
apanday02
but if same username exists in #test2 then i want to inser records as below:
first apawar will check in #test2, if not exists insert as it is:
if apawar01 exists in #test2 then, cretae apawar02 instead of apawar01
for next create apawar03 and insert and so on...
In brief I want to check created username eith #table2 and if same exists then first check if lower value available if not then create with lower value and insert.
