I'm trying to import a csv file directly to my database every month. The contents of the file stays the same, however the format of the columns may vary. For example, 1 month I can have the following:
Time, Probe1, Probe2, Probe3, Probe4
Whereas the next month I can have something like this
Time, Probe2, Probe3, Probe1, Probe4
The "Time" column will always be on the left side, but the probes may vary in their placement.
I'm importing this csv to a temp table, where I then run a query to select any new data and enter that in my main tables. The problem is that when i import the csv, if the placement of the columns has changed, the data gets entered in the wrong locations.
Is there any way to create this temp table dynamically, based on what the header columns of the csv file are?
Can I dynamically (from a stored procedure) generatea create table script of all tables in a given database (with defaults etc)a create view script of all viewsa create function script of all functionsa create index script of all indexes.(The result will be 4 scripts)Arno de Jong,The Netherlands.
Is it possible to create a temp table using exec. e.g
exec('create table #temp1 (xyz int, abc int)')
when I run the above statement, I dont get an error but nothing happens.
The reason I need to create it dynamically is that in my stored proc, I am passed a number. This number determines how many columns my temp table should have. thanks Zoey
The following dynamic SQL script works for creating a table on the fly but if I change the select @tmpTblNm = 'tmpABC' to select @tmpTblNm = '#tmpABC' it will not create the temp table. Can anyone help on creating a temp table dynamiclly?
declare @tmpTblNm varchar(40), @str varchar(1000)
select @tmpTblNm = 'tmpABC' select @str = ''
-- Create a temp table to hold the current page of data -- Add an ID column to track the current row select @str = 'Create Table '+ @tmpTblNm + ' ( row_id int IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY, customerID int, customerName varchar(40), address1 varchar(40), city varchar(25) )'
I want to create a table that can created dynamicly based on front end application.table should handle insertion and edit also. please help me to get out of this situation.
I need to create a table....whose column names should be dynamic...I wouldnt know in advance what the column names would be...These coulmn names are availabe in another table as rows...
Ex: TABLE_A Data
Column Names
Col1
Col2
Col3
Col4...
Some column Names are known already...I need help in writinf the Create table statement..
I need to write something like
Create table Table1
(SerialNo int,Name nvarchar(50)+ AS select * from TABLE_A +
Address nvarchar(500))....
Now the Table1 should look like
Serial No Name Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Address
Can some one please let me know how can i accomplish this...I know i need to write a Dynamic Query but dont exactly know ho to write it and execute it....
In SQL Server you can do a SELECT INTO to create a new table, much like CREAT TABLE AS in Oracle. I'm putting together a dynamic script that will create a table with the number of columns being the dynamic part of my script. Got any suggestions that come to mind?
Example:
I need to count the number of weeks between two dates, my columns in the table need to be at least one for every week returned in my query.
I'm thinking of getting a count of the number of weeks then building my column string comma separated then do my CREATE TABLE statement rather then the SELECT INTO... But I'm not sure I'll be able to do that using a variable that holds the string of column names. I'm guess the only way I can do this is via either VBScript or VB rather then from within the database.
I have a project which is need dynamically t-sql clause...I've created interface for the create dynamic t-sql clause. But the clause should get data from relational database. It needs inner join...so it's very hard to do it..
for example
lkpProduct
id product 1 Mouse 2 Keyboard
3 Modem 4 Monitor
main
id productid
1 4 2 1 3 2 4 3 5 4
You can get this table with 2 ways like this..
1. Select main.id, lkpProduct.product from main,lkpProduct where main.productid = lkpProduct.id 2. Select id, case productid when 1 then 'Mouse'.....end as product from main
hi, in the front end i have two fields one is dropdown list another is checboxlist say dropdownlist consist of title name and checkbox list consists of sub title name.on selecting title name from dropdownlist i will be getting respective title name in checkboxlist. here when i select checkboxlist(suppose if there are 6 items in checkboxlist n if i select only 3)then my databse column should generate one dropdownlist selected item and 3 checkboxlist selected item.
Eg: if dropdownlist contains( title1,title2,title3) and checkboxlist contains(chk1,chk2,chk3,chk4,chk5,chk6). if i select title1 from dropdownlist i will be geeting 6 item in checkbox list) if i select only 3 items of checkbox list. then i should be able to create column name by title1,chk1,chk2,chk3
In general, What is the best approach in creating a dynamic updatestored procedure, that can handle recieving varying input paramters andupdate the approporiate columns.
I am curious if you can create a subscription for a report that resides on reports manager with a dynamic date? We have a couple of reports on reports manager that require a date value and I tried to use getdate() for the value but it will not except it. Is there a way to have a subscription do something like this so the end user doesn't have to change the date parameter each time? Thanks in advance.
I have a requirement to create a dynamic SQL Command in an OLE DB Source due to the fact that I need to read data from another database based on a date range. For example, the SQL command would look like
SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE DateField BETWEEN '17/03/2008' and '21/03/2008'
and I need to change the dates - '17/03/2008' and '21/03/2008' to different dates when the package is deployed in production, how do I do that ?
I have a ForEach Loop Container that is running from a Foreach ADO Enumerator with records telling me which companies have records to export. As I loop through I use a data flow task to export the records to Excel, I want to create separate Excel files using some of the parameters from my recordset as parts of the name.
I have DelayValidation=True for my DFT and my Excel Connection Manager, ValidateExternalMetaData=False for my Excel Destination Adapter, and an expression setting the ExcelFilePath and ServerName properties to the dynamic path & file name from variables.
The layout will be the same (i.e. metadata) for each file. The files are just getting broken up by company and service type and I want to use that in naming the files.
I am currently getting the following errors:
[EX_DST New Enrollments File [238]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.
[EX_DST New Enrollments File [238]] Error: Opening a rowset for "NewEnrollments$" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "EX_DST New Enrollments File" (238) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC02020E8.
What do I have to do to create the new Excel File? I thought it would do it when the properties were set. Do I have to create the "table" for the worksheet named "NewEnrollments"? If so, how do I accomplish it.
Is it possible to create a report with dynamic parameters or parameters dependant on other ones? I have the following scenario -
Parameter 1 - 'Select an Application' - List of applications that are available
Parameter 2 - 'Select a module' - This is a list of modules that needs to depend on Parameter 1. As a user selects different applications, the appropriate module list will be loaded.
it seems like i am able to create it. But when i try to access that temporary table, i get an error "Invalid object". this is happening only when i try to create local temporary table. Global temporary table works fine inside the dynamic SQL.
I have a requirement to create dynamic reports for my client.
once i create these reports then the user will choose columns of there choice.
so the columns may belong to multiple tables.
Now the report should get generated with the layout etc. is it possible.
since our project is totally on the webserver(webbased.)
please if you can provide me with any links with dynamic report creation wizards.
and also we only use Stored procedures via database.
which is best is writing the entire queries right behind the layouit or calling the entire logic via Stored procedure. i am a bit confused. this is my first project working on reports itself.
I would like to know if is possible to create dynamic reports based on cubes. What i mean is,after creating a cube with a couple of dimensions and measure if is there any way to give the normal users on the report manager or report builder the freedom to choose their own dimensions/measure so they can output the report with the choosen criteria.

I have a folder which contains all the flat files which are used by all the packages(ex--flat file connection managers) in my project. If we want to change the name of the folder,have to change in every package( in all connection managers) manually.It looks hardcoding and timetaking.
Is there any way to change in one place(xml,file,variable) so that it should be affected in all the packages.
one more doubt is..
If we configure the flat file connection manager in package configurations,configuration file (ex-xml)will be created (we can make changes in that file regarding that connecion mgr only.)
But i want one configuration file (ex--xml) so that i should configure the details of all the connection managers used in all packages.
I have a text file which needs to be created into a table (let's call it DataFile table). For now I'm just doing the manual DTS to import the txt into SQL server to create the table, which works. But here's my problem....
I need to extract data from DataFile table, here's my query:
select * from dbo.DataFile where DF_SC_Case_Nbr not like '0000%';
Then I need to create a new table for the extracted data, let's call it ExtractedDataFile. But I don't know how to create a new table and insert the data I selected above into the new one.
Also, can the extraction and the creation of new table be done in just one stored procedure? or is there any other way of doing all this (including the importation of the text file)?
Requirement: When we create SSIS Pacakge using Businessinteligence studio.Each Source and Destination or whatever we using the Control required DB Connection.
we connect theDB server and Database Table through manaully .Instead of Manual i need dynamic Global varible for Connection String .How to achieve this connection string.
because suppose we create SSIS Package in Developement Server Latter We change the Server from Developement to Another Testing Server . at that time we dont requierd for changing manulay.any one pls reply me.
Same as in Dotnet we give configiration XML file .we gave the Connection strng. how to in SSIS we do?
I'm trying to create a proc for granting permission for developer, but I tried many times, still couldn't get successful, someone can help me? The original statement is:
I have some code that dynamically creates a database (name is @FullName) andthen creates a table within that database. Is it possible to wrap thesethings into a transaction such that if any one of the following fails, thedatabase "creation" is rolledback. Otherwise, I would try deleting on errordetection, but it could get messy.IF @Error = 0BEGINSET @ExecString = 'CREATE DATABASE ' + @FullNameEXEC sp_executesql @ExecStringSET @Error = @@ErrorENDIF @Error = 0BEGINSET @ExecString = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @FullName + '.[dbo].[Image] ( [ID][int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL, [Blob] [image] NULL , [DateAdded] [datetime]NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]'EXEC sp_executesql @ExecStringSET @Error = @@ErrorENDIF @Error = 0BEGINSET @ExecString = 'ALTER TABLE ' + @FullName + '.[dbo].[Image] WITHNOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_Image] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ID] ) ON[PRIMARY]'EXEC sp_executesql @ExecStringSET @Error = @@ErrorEND
For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.
Hi Minor and inconsequential but sometimes you just gotta know: Is it possible to define a non-primary key index within a Create Table statement? I can create a constraint and a PK. I can create the table and then add the index. I just wondered if you can do it in one statement. e.g. I have: CREATE TABLE MyT (MyT_ID INT Identity(1, 1) CONSTRAINT MyT_PK PRIMARY KEY Clustered, MyT_Desc Char(40) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT MyT_idx1 UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED ON [DEFAULT])which creates a table with a PK and unique constraint. I would like (pseudo SQL):CREATE TABLE MyT (MyT_ID INT Identity(1, 1) CONSTRAINT MyT_PK PRIMARY KEY Clustered, MyT_Desc Char(40) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT MyT_idx1 UNIQUE INDEX NONCLUSTERED ON [DEFAULT]) No big deal - just curious :D Once I know I can stop scouring BOL for clues. Tks in advance
