Check If A File (pattern) Exists Using A Script Task
Dec 6, 2007
Hi,
I need to check if a file exists (using a filename pattern as the filename will be dynamic) in a directory.
I am trying to use the File.Exists() method in a Script Task. However, it does not allow me to do something like -
File.Exists("C:Files*.xls")
Or
File.Exists("C:Filesabc*.xls")
Any help on this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
B@ns

I need to create a script task in sql server 2008 R2 to check if a file exists in a directory. For example, to see if output.dat exist under c:results. If the file exists, then send out an email stating the file exists, if not then send out another email stating the file does not exists.I noticed there is a huge difference between the script task in sql 2005 and sql 2008 r2.

In SSIS, I need an easy way to see if a file exists, and if not wait for it until a timeout period expires. Here are the options I've discovered, along with the issues I've had:
a) The File Watcher task from www.sqlis.com
This was my first attempt. The task works great, BUT only detects when there is a change on the file. If the file already exists, it keeps waiting which is not the behavior I need.
b) The WMI Event Task
There is very sparce documentation on this event and how to write a WQL query. There are numerous examples of monitoring a folder and if any files appear, cause an event to happen. I need to detect for a specific file. I found maybe one example of this using "PartComponent" but wasn't able to get the sytax right to make it work for me. I also need to access a remote file share using a UNC path (e.g. \servernamepathfile.txt) which I could not get to work.
c) Script Task using the File.Exists() method
I imported the System.IO namespace, and used a File.Exists(\servernamepathfile.txt) with actual success, but am not sure of the best way to continue to wait if the file is not found immediately. I also want to modularize this approach so I can wait for several files simultaneously so was thinking of implementing this script task as a package by itself to accept variables (filepath & timeout period) but need to know if anyone has had success with this approach.
I'm open to suggestions or ways to get options a) and b) to work for my needs.
Thanks!

I wanted to create a package to copy the objects from one database to another and replace those object if they already exist. Therefore, before the package executes you do not know whether all the objects exist on the target server or only some of them.
Using the 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task' I have found that I cannot get this to execute cleanly by itself. If I set the 'DropObjectsFirst' to false then an error is thrown if the object exists and if I set it to true then an error is thrown if it does not exist.
In order to get round this I have had to create an 'Execute SQL Task' to list all the objects and then go through them dropping them on the target server in a for each loop before executing the 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task' with 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task' set to false.
However, is there a better way of achieving this or am I missing something in the 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task'?

Usual way to check if file exists
DECLARE @File_Exists INT
EXEC Master.dbo.xp_fileexist 'serverBSQL_Backupfile.bak', @File_Exists OUT
print @File_Exists
1
And if check folder, can use "nul", but it doesn't work for UNC path
DECLARE @File_Exists INT
EXEC Master.dbo.xp_fileexist 'serverBSQL_Backup
ul', @File_Exists OUT
print @File_Exists
0
If use xp_subdirs like:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_subdirs 'serverBSQL_Backups'
If the folder doesn't exists,
Msg 22006, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
xp_subdirs could not access 'ServerBSQL_Backups*.*': FindFirstFile() returned error 67, 'The network name cannot be found.'
How to check if UNC folder exists in Backup? in my code I want to check if the unc folder exists before doing backup, the unc path is retrieved from other table or backup history.

Hi all,
Let me apologize in advance for what I know is a very basic question,
but so far I'm not being terribly successful trying to find sample code
to learn from.
I'm trying to write (my first!) .Net Script in SSIS to check for the
existance of a file (since that seems to be the only way to do it).
I've created the Script Task, with the following settings:
PrecomplieScriptIntoBinaryCode = False (it complained at one point in time (possibly on validation))
EntryPoint = ScriptMain
ReadOnly Variables = ProductBuyListFileLocation, ProductBuyListFileName
ReadWrite Variable = FileFound
Now the ReadOnly variables have the 2 components necessary for a file location, i.e.:
ProductBuyListFileLocation = 'D:TestingProductInformationEnhancements'
ProductBuyListFileName = 'buyList.xls'
So, I'm now trying to check the existance with the following .Net Script code:
-------code--------
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Public Class ScriptMain
' The execution engine calls this method when the task executes.
' 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.
'
' To open Code and Text Editor Help, press F1.
' To open Object Browser, press Ctrl+Alt+J.
Public Sub Main()
'
' Add your code here
'
Dim FileLocation As String
Dim DTSVariables As Variables
If
System.IO.File.Exists((CStr(DTSVariables("ProductBuyListFileLocation").Value)
+ (CStr(DTSVariables("ProductBuyListFileLocation").Value)))) Then
DTSVariables("FileFound").Value = 1
Else
DTSVariables("FileFound").Value = 0
End If
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
End Class
-------code--------
if fails with this message, which I'm not finding too helpful:
at
ScriptTask_6c9d28f1bd3045739c4237bd588e3835.ScriptMain.Main() in
dts://Scripts/ScriptTask_6c9d28f1bd3045739c4237bd588e3835/ScriptMain:line
28
Is it complaining about not being able to find/address my ReadOnly variable? If so, what am I doing wrong?
TIA

I tried creating one simple bar chart report in SSRS, with background fill with pattern "UpwardDiagonal", the stripes on the column when viewed insider report viewer control is quite prominently visible, whereas when exporting the same report to PDF the lines are very thin and dense and hence makes it very difficult to differentiate between one column with pattern inside and one without. I have even tried various other pattern like "LightUpwardDiagonal" and "WideUpwardDiagonal" but all have same result when exported to PDF.why?

Hello,I created the following SQL script to check if a record exists:IF (EXISTS (SELECT LevelName FROM dbo.by27_Levels WHERE LOWER(@LevelName) = LOWER(LevelName))) Return (1)ELSE Return (0)And I also found in a web page another solution:IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM TABLENAME WHERE LevelName=@LevelName) SELECT 1ELSE SELECT 0- Which approach should I use?- Why "SELECT 1 FROM"?- And when should I use SELECT or RETURN?All I need is to know if the record exists ... nothing else.I will use this procedure on an ASP.NET 2.0 / C# web site.I am not sure if this important but anyway ...Thank You,Miguel

Does anybody can tell me how to check if cursor exists ?
I have a "try and catch" blocks.
I want to destroy the cursor when error occurred and it jumps into "catch" block.
Before I destroy the cursor I want to check if it exists, because the error could occurred before I have declared or opened the cursor.

Hi!
I have created a formview which I among other things uses to insert new values into a database. What I want to check is if the primary key which is put into the form already exists in the db. If it is I want to get a message to my web page, if not the data can be inserted.
How can I do this?
And if the only way to control this is to create a stored procedure. How do I write such a proc?

I declare a cusror named crInv inside a loop.
Since I open this cursor a lot of times I want to check if is already opened.
I try to use the Cursor_status function but it always returns -3.
The syntax is:
DECLARE crInv SCROL CURSOR FOR
SELECT Val1, Val2 FROM TABLE1 WHERE Val3=450
If Cursor_Status('local','crInv')>0 BEGIN
CLOSE crInv
DEALLOCATE crInv
END
This code is inside a loop.
If I PRINT Cursor_Status('local','crInv') before and after the DECLARE statement it always returns -3.
What is wrong??
Best regards,

Hi,
This my first time using the link server to read the files directly from within SQL2005, so issues the following link:-
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = N'MYVFPSERVER', -- Your linked server name here
@srvproduct=N'Visual FoxPro 9', -- can be anything
@provider=N'VFPOLEDB',
@datasrc=N'"C:PROGRAM FILESMICROSOFT VISUAL FOXPRO 9Samplesdata estdata.dbc"'
After that i can open query and do the import issues, but how can check if the table exists before issues the query.
Best regards

Well, actually, as in the title. I have a table. The script should add a column if that column doesn't exist already. I use VB to combine the two queries. So what I want:
Query1: Does the column exists:
if No,
query2: create the column
How can I achieve this?

What’s the easiest way to check if a single value exists in a table column? I’m building a simple login page, and I want to get the username and check if it exists in my Users table. Here’s my SQL: SELECT UserID FROM UsersWHERE UserID = "admin" Could someone give me code to check for “admin” in my UserID column? Here’s some code I tried, using my SqlDataSource, but it returns an error “Could not load type 'System.Data.OleDb'” protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Retreive the results from the SqlDataSource as a DataReader OleDbDataReader reader = (OleDbDataReader) SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty); // Read in the value if (reader.Read()) { } // Close the reader reader.Close(); } I don’t have to use the SqlDataSource, but originally thought it might be easier. I know how to use SqlDataSource to fill a whole GridView but this is different.
