Can I Use The Foreach Loop To Obtain The Sub Folder Names Within A Folder?
Sep 4, 2006
I have a set of folders with the following structure:
MainFolder
1999
SpreadsheetA.xls
SpreadsheetB.xls
SpreadsheetC.xls
2000
SpreadsheetA.xls
SpreadsheetB.xls
SpreadsheetC.xls
etc.
Is there a way that I can use the foreach loop container to loop the sub folders? My plan was to get the folder name and path into a variable, use this to build the connection string for each file in this folder, carry out the upload for that folder, then move onto the next folder and do the same thing, but I cannot see a way to do this.
I have a Foreach Loop Container task. I am using it to loop through some files in a folder. I tried to use an expression to set the folder to a variable called DataDirectory. I did not see a folder expression.
I dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder). So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message "cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again." After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message. So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.
I know a WMI event watcher can be used to watch for a new file being added to a folder. However, I need to check for new folders being added to an existing folder. I haven't been able to find a post on doing this. Is there a way in WQL to check for a new folder being added instead of a new file? I've used SQL for years, but am new to SSIS.
I have a SharePoint (2007) Document Library site called B. Web Client is enabled on the server and B is mapped as a Drive (let's call it Y for this discussion)
I want to move documents in A to B. Easy enough, right? Not so....
I first started by creating a batch file that issues a COPY \A \Y /Y at the command prompt. Viola! Worked Great!
I then moved that command to a SQL Agent job as a CMDExec statement (exact same statement) and attempted to run it.....CRASH! It found the files in A but then said "The system cannot find the path specified"
Ok, so I tried it in SSIS. CRASH! Checked the error log. Same thing...
So I then checked the account under which the SQl Agent was running (special domain account for all our SQL Servers). Thinking it might mater I changed it to run under my name (I'm in Domain admin). I also ensured I had permissions to the SPS 2007 library as well. (I did).
Ran again! CRASH! Same error....
So, I created a batch file , placed thec ommand in the batch file and ran that from the command prompt! Viola! Worked Great.
So, I was thinking of how ingenious I was as I pasted my C:RootCopy.bat into my SQL Agent job. With a big grin on my face I right clicked and picked "Start Job at step".......CRASH! Same error.
Does anyone have any ideas on this ???????????????
Hi, On x64 versions of Windows server 2003, there is a folder called "Program Files (x86)". The use of parenthesis in this name has caused a few issues so far, particularly with connecting SQL Server 2005 to Oracle using SSIS. After several hours of searching I realized that the parenthesis was causing it, and eventually I found that the best way is to avoid creating such a name while installing the OS itself, by using winnt.sif. This would be better than renaming it and changing registry entries after the installation is done.
I realize this may not be the best question to ask of Microsoft, but why not just call it "Program Filesx86" by default so no special procedure has to be done to get around these issues? The use of parenthesis is likely to cause even more compatibility issues with other software later?
BTW I use Microsoft products regularly and love most of them
I am having problem with moving a file from one folder to another folder. Here is the detailed scenario:
I want to move a input.csv file from shared input folder to shared archive folder. i am using the below code to do this. declare @inpath varchar(100) SET @inpath = 'move "\abcdefINPUTinput*.csv" "\abcdefARCHIVEarchive.csv"' EXEC @filestatus = master..xp_cmdshell @inpath but the problem was it was cutting the input.csv file from INPUT folder but not pasting it in the ARCHIVE folder. I really appreciate if anyone can help me to solve this or anyone can tell some workarounds.
How is foreach loop container - foreach ADO enumerator performace in SSIS package compares to use of cursors in stored procedures
Is there any articles comparing them
I understand a lot of factors can affect the performance, however what is expected performance for the foreach ADO enumerator loop for large dataset. What is Microsoft recommendation for that - recommended - not recommended (using large datasets - over million records)
I have no "Foreach File Enumerator" oprtion in the Enumerator Property of the Foreach Loop Component.
I have this enumerator in the c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSForEachEnumerators folder.
Also I check it in the GAC - it does not here. I try to execute gacutil.exe -iF ForEachFileEnumerator.dll, but it is failed with "Failure adding assembly to the cache: The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest." Seems it is not managed enumerator.
Please help me.
Also information on how to regeister unmanaged enumerators are welcome!
I am trying to run a UNION ALL query in SQL SERVER 2014 on multiple large CSV files - the result of which i want to get into a table in SQL Server. below is the query which works in MSAccess but not on SQL Server 2014:
SELECT * INTO tbl_ALLCOMBINED FROM OPENROWSET ( 'Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0' , 'Text;Database=D:DownloadsCSV;HDR=YES', 'SELECT t.*, (substring(t.[week],3,4))*1 as iYEAR, ''SPAIN'' as [sCOUNTRY], ''EURO'' as [sCHAR],
[Code] ....
What i need is:
1] to create the resultant tbl_ALLCOMBINED table
2] transform this table using PIVOT command with following transformation as shown below:
PAGEFIELD: set on Level = 'Item' COLUMNFIELD: Sale_Week (showing 1 to 52 numbers for columns) ROWFIELD: sCOUNTRY, sCHAR, CATEGORY, MANUFACTURER, BRAND, DESCRIPTION, EAN (in this order) DATAFIELD: 'Sale Value with Innovation'
3] Can the transformed form show columnfields >255 columns i.e. if i want to show all KPI values in datafield?
P.S: the CSV's contain the same number of columns and datatype but the columns are >100, so i dont think it will be feasible to use a stored proc to create a table specifying that number of columns.
hi, I am curious to know if I can do the following from within a store procedure.

What would be the impact of replacing the SQL 2005 90 ToolsBinn folder with the SQL 2000 80 toolsinn folder? A colleague of mine did this in a SQL 2005 production environment so that he could still use isql.exe. Unfortunately, users are getting kicked out of the database and I'm thinking the binn folder may be a factor. Thoughts?

Is there a way to find out programmatically using T-SQL where the current log folder is located for a SQL insatance? if for example the log folder is located under the C: as
My Log file connection is set to "Create Folder". According to BOL, this seems to indicate that the folder(s) that the log file will reside in will be created if they do not already exist. Yet I am receiving a package validation error when I execute the package. The full error is:
The SSIS logging provider has failed to open the log. Error code: 0x80070003 The system cannot find the path specified.
As a side note, I thought that setting the connection to "Create File" would recreate the log file each time it ran but that does not seem be the case. Instead, the file gets appended.
I need to execute about dozen packages from another package... how do I dynamically pass the dozen package names to the package and execute using foreach loop...?
idea is to store the names of packages in a text file and set the file connection property reading each package names from the text file... in this way I can just configure/edit the text file from time to time, the packages and the units that I want to execute...
Greetings, Salutations, and Howdy I'm using VWD on the local box and WS 2003/SQL Express on the remote box. The first time I upload the site, the upload works great.

HI, I found that we can keep .mdf file in App_Data folder and use the same database in our application. so my questions are . 1.the database which is kept in app_code will work only with Sql Server Express Edition. 2.what will be my connection string in web.config. If any one can help out that will be appreciate and put some more light about using the data base in this way. or any article link will also appreciated.
Hiiiiiiiiiiii, Why my program can't access data base, if i'm not set permission & security to All User (Everyone)..?? FYI, my IIS setting for directory security is Basic Authentication. Pls advise how my program can access the program, if permission & security are not set to Everyone ?? Thanks
Hi We are building a portal internal to our org. Here, For one of the option on the portal, we have given each user in our organization an option to upload three images. Iam storing these images in Sql server table columns with datatype image.So, the question is: 1. Is it ok to store the images in sqlserver? Will it add any performance degradation? 2. Is it ok to store the images in folder and store the respective urls in the DB? Please let us know. Thanks! Santhosh
I'd be interested to know what the recommended methods are of implementing a SQL database using VS2005 standard and SQLExpress. I previously used VS2003 and MSDE which allowed me to create a .sql script to create and populate a database. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it now appears that in VS2005 the preferred way of doing this is to create a SQLExpress database in the App_Data folder. This is fine, except that I can't seem to connect to this 'detached' database using SQLCMD when I need to run my .sql scripts to create the tables. When I used MSDE, I used a command similar to the following: osql -E -S(local)etsdk -dMyDatabase Which connected to the 'MyDatabase' database. Now, with VS2005, if I create MyDatabase.mdf in the App_Data folder how would I connect to it using SQLCMD? I've tried: sqlcmd -E -S(local)SQLEXPRESS -dMyDatabase.mdf but this just tries to open a database in the SSQL.1MSSQLData folder. I guess I'd like to store the database in the App_Data folder as it keeps everything together and will be easier when deploying a site to a remote host. Thanks,Wayne.
Does anyone know if it is possible (and if yes, how) to create a trigger that creates a folder for every inserted record? In a specific root folder, I want a subfolder for every record in the table. How does the trigger have to look like to make the folder automatically with every insert of a new record???
