Is The Rational Guide to Scripting SQL Server 2005 Integration Services Beta Preview by Donald Farmer the best way to learn how to use scripting in SSIS as of late 2006? I'm not a .NET developer, although I come from a Java and C++ background.
I already own Professional SQL Server 2005 Integration Server, but that one doesn't cover scripting so much.
Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
I am new to SSIS...and wanted to know where can i get a lot of info on how to deal with ActiveX Scripttasks & Script tasks in SSIS...the place i am working has a lot of VB Scripting done in DTS Packages...having a hard time in understanding the Scripts, as i am more like back-end guy and wanted to learn a lot in SSIS, once i understand the scripts it will help me a great deal as to how to approach the tasks...Is there any website which teaches how to avoid Scripting in SSIS as i read somewhere that Scripting should be avoided as much as possible by making using of so many tasks in the SSIS tool.
I will look forward for someone to help me out and show me a way.
thanks

I can't do simple things that were done easily with Active X ..
USELESS...
Hi, Does anyone have any suggestions on a book about scripting in SSIS. I'm currently using the WROX SQL Server 2005 Integratin Services book. This is an excellent book, but I need something that has more on scripting in SSIS.
My background is dba work, not programming. Thanks.

I am utlizing a scripting object in my ssis to combine two text files into one final file, and then I want to delete the original files. To do this I am utilizing the FileSystemInfo namespace and associating the file names, then utilizing the DELETE functionality.
The creation of the final file works perfectly...unfortunately, my base files do not delete, and I do not get a failure message or indictator.
Here is my code:
' Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Script Task
' Write scripts using Microsoft Visual Basic
' The ScriptMain class is the entry point of the Script Task.
Imports System

' To access the object model, use the Dts object. Connections, variables, events,
' and logging features are available as static members of the Dts class.
' Before returning from this method, set the value of Dts.TaskResult to indicate success or failure.

Hi to all
Is there any option in sql server DTS or any other third party tool that can script data. By scripting data i mean that....
if a table "Employee" contains 50 rows, i want the tool to write 50 insert queries for me so that i can run in it anywhere.
Problem is i have to insert data in a remote server where i cannot use DTS. I just have a text area to write my query and press the run button..
Hope u understand my problem. In case of any explanation please reply. Waiting for your response. Thanx in advance.

SQL 7
I am trying to run a script written for an asp page (pure vbscript) in a active script job. I am getting errors on:
Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Yes, ADO is up to date and loaded. The error says

I know it's a simple question, just can't figure it out:
How do I script a new column into an existing table in SQL? I am using MS SQL 7.0 and need to create several new columns in existing tables.
thanks all.
Does anyone know how to prevent or change the
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
that appear between each Create? I can't see any options for changing then or eliminating them when generating the SQL Script for my stored procedures.
Thanks,

I have to come up a script that will be going across 60 different servers that will be looking for document type that are not being used across all servers and then deleting them.
To start with:
Select Enabled from MHGROUP.CUSTOM5
where Enabled ='N'
then delete records
and where would I run this type of script or should I say can this be done?
Thanks
Anyone know how to write a script for sql 6.5 that identifies what column is a primary key on a table? (INFORMATION_SCHEMA doesn't exist) Thanks for the help in advance.
View 10 Replies View RelatedWhat I need to do - can it be done without scripting?
1.) I need to get a list of sp's from a table (EXEC SQL task)
2.) Next, loop through the list of sp's and execute (FOREACHLOOP)
3.) Then, write the output of each sp to a uniquely named file. (DATA FLOW task)
So far, I have had success with 1 and 2. But getting the DATA FLOW task to work has been imposssible thus far.
I tried everything I can think of. I even created a child package that gets called from the FOREACHLOOP, using a Parent Variable Configuration to pass down the name of the stored procedure variable to the child package. No dice.
I am ready to throw in the towel here.
So, my question is, can what I want to do even be DONE without scripting? I was trying to avoid the "manual" approach to this project. It seems like what I want to do "should" be so simple.
In sum, I am simply trying to read a list of sp's from a table, execute the sp's, then write the output of the sp's to a uniquely named file.
Can this be done without scripting? I am beginning to think NOT.
Sigh. This is driving me crazy.
Please, any advice!!
Thanks
Hi Gurus/MVPS:
Can you please share or show me the code for scripting out stored procedures in SQL Server 2005 using SQL Cmd?. I need to perform the following:
1). Script out the text of the stored procedure
2). Output to a sql file (text file) under some directory like C:sql
3). Import the file into the destination db and run it.
The above three need to be automated in a DTS Package. I tried to use the DMO but my source server is a SQL2k5 and so DTS desginer does not let me use the ActiveX with DMO against SQL 2k5. I need to run the first step against a SQL2k5 machine and the second and third on a SQL2k machine.
Please help!!!.
Thanks

I just starting working for a new client this week. They have a custom install program written in VB.NET which installs the database to SQL Server 2000. Normally, when I want to create a SQL script to create a database, I would go into Enterprise Manager, right-click on a database, and select All Tasks | Generate SQL Script. However, that's not how this client works. Much to my horror, the CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE, etc. statements are both hard-coded and hand-coded within the install program itself. When I asked them why they weren't using SQL Server's scripting capabilities to automatically generate the script, they said that SQL Server scripting is buggy and that it doesn't work properly. It was hard getting specific details but they said it would leave out indexes, for example. Now, I'm no SQL Server expert, but I've never had a problem using SQL Server's scripting capabilities. The database they use isn't that big - maybe 20-30 tables. So, before I make an issue out of it, I was wondering what everyone else's experience with SQL Server 2000's scripting features? If you've used SQL Servers scripting to recreate a database, does it work? Did you have issues?
View 6 Replies View RelatedCan you write a script that compares table changes. I have a testing database with a bunch of table changes that i need to move to production and instead of handtypeing the changes in I was wondering if there was a method of creating a script.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
Just getting into scripting sql. I have a little script that adds and drops a default value for a column. But I cannot get it to run when the column already has a default value specified. If I didn't script the contraint and specify a name I have no name to specify when trying to drop it.
ALTER TABLE users ADD CONSTRAINT dev1 DEFAULT 1 FOR ns_email_flag
ALTER TABLE users DROP CONSTRAINT dev1
How do I remove any existing default values using script?
TIA,
Seoras.
I am currently running SQL7 sp3 and will be moving the database to SQL2k. I have restored the database without any problems, but have not moved the dts packages. What would be the best solution: script the packages, save the packages to the 2k db, or just build from scratch? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! -J-
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to move over all of my DTS packages and corresponding jobs onto another MS SQL server machine. The problem that I have is that I haven't been able to find any straight-forward info on how to script up these jobs, move them onto another machine and execute them. I have scanned through previous posts written by people with the same problem, but every response is simply "script up the jobs and move them onto another server." Maybe I'm missing something, but how "exactly" do I get a job to show up on this destination machine in EM, in the management/sql server agent/jobs folder. I did the jobs/all tasks/script job... but then what? I saved it on this destination machine, but am unclear as what to do next. The MS SQL Server Administrators companion book is of no help on this subject, and I do not understand how this simple task can be so confusing and is not documented. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
Is there any way to script all the triggers in a database just the way we script tables and stored procedures?
currently I am using the system tables.

Does anyone here know anything about the DCS Scripting Language.
A contract vacancy has arisen using this language but I've never heard of it and there does seem to be anything on the internet about it. Can anyone help?
Hi,
Does anyone have scripts that generate the following:
1. All PK
2. All FK
3. All Indexes
Separate from the table DDL.
( EM can generate but with table DDL as well )
