Hi all,
I have a DTS package that outputs the contents of a view into a CSV file, however when the view has no records, an empty file is still created, is there any way to stop this.
I dont want the file to be created if the view has no records.
Hi -
I have a SSIS package that dumps data from an internal table to a flat file output using standard data flow tasks. The entire table is output - no special SQL. Most of the time the records are placed in the output file in the same order as the internal DB table, but occasionally the order appears to be more random. When that happens, the record order in the internal table is correct - it is just the output.
I can find no properties that seem to affect this. I would appreciate any hints and advice that anyone can give me. Has anyone else encountered this same problem?
Thanks in advance,
Jim Sweeney
Hey,
I'm looking for a good way to rewrite my T-SQL code with 'bcp' to SSIS package, any help would be greatly appreciated?
I have table1 contain account numbers and output-filename for each account,
I need to join table2 and table3 to get data for each account in table1, and then export as a txt file.
Here is my code using bcp (bulk copy)
DECLARE @RowCnt int,
@TotalRows int,
@AccountNumber char(11),
@sql varchar(8000),
@date char(10),
@ArchPath varchar(500)
SET @RowCnt = 1
SET @date = CONVERT(CHAR(10),GETDATE(),110)
SET @ArchPath = '\D$EDATAWorkFoldersSendSendData'
SELECT @TotalRows = count(*) FROM table1
--select @ArchPath
WHILE (@RowCnt <= @TotalRows)
BEGIN
SELECT @AccountNumber = AccountNumber, @output_filename FROM table1 WHERE Identity_Number = @RowCnt
--PRINT @AccountNumber --test
SELECT @sql = N'bcp "SELECT h.HeaderText, d.RECORD FROM table2 d INNER JOIN table3 h ON d.HeaderID = h.HeaderID WHERE d.ccountNumber = '''
+ @AccountNumber+'''" queryout "'+@ArchPath+ @output_filename + '.txt" -T -c'
--PRINT @sql
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @sql
SELECT @RowCnt = @RowCnt + 1
END
Hi
This should be incredibly simple and easy, but I can't find any examples of how to do this.
I just want to make a File System Task move a file, and have the destination be filename + date and time. For example \serversharefilename02072007.txt
What syntax do I use in a variable to make this work?
Thanks
For a staging table
Table TimeRange
id binary(16),
startTime datetime,
endTime datetime,
isValid tinyint
There are two validation rules: starttime cannot be null, endTime cannot be null (assume that we cannot set the columns as NOT NULL).
We would like to OUTPUT an error record for each validation error for every record in the TimeRange table.
Would there be a single statement that could do this ? (ie. would UPDATE invalid record AND would OUTPUT two validation error records for a record that has startTime = NULL AND endTime = NULL)
Something like:
UPDATE TimeRange
SET isValid = 0
OUTPUT inserted.id,
CASE WHEN inserted.startTime is NULL THEN inserted.startTime
WHEN inserted.endTime is NULL THEN inserted.endTime
END -- Needs to handle the case where both startTime and endTime are invalid
INTO @InvalidRecords
FROM (a SELECT stmt that is a table with a record for each validation error)
MERGE does not have the functionality needed (inserting multiple records for every invalid record).
Have not had success using a UNION ALL, as there is an error updating derived tables.
Have not had success creating a JOIN statement.
I have a sql statement that joins two tables and I get back a few thousand records when I run it in query tool in management studio.
But when I use SSIS merge join to join the two tables my output is 0 records.
I did sort the key column in both tables by setting 'sortkeyposition' property to 1 in advanced editor for output of both tables.
however the merge join returns nothing to my destination tables. Also I am doing a inner join. The task runs without error but returns nothing as well.. any ideas?
I have a table that have different groups in it, All the records that belong to one Group have the same GroupID and each GroupID has same columns. I need a query to generate the output in the attachment.
When the user input one GroupID then all the records belong to that group will pull out,
When the user input two GroupIDs then the user need to select another set of parameter (duplicate records or different records or nonoverlap records) to display
Intersect of the two group or different records or except records
when user input three GroupIDs then the user need to display the overlaps among all three groups or different among three groups or dinstinct records among the three groups
Of course user can input other filters.
Hi All,
I've got a main report with five subreports. Based on a value of a parameter in the main report one the subreports is filled with data, all the other subreports will have no records. When the report is displayed in on the reportserver it is working fine, bit when I export the data to a CVS format, also the element names of the subreports are added to the CSV Output.
When i change the value of Data Output of the subreport item in the main report to Auto it doesn't export the records of the filled subreport.
How can I disable the export of the dataelement names in the CSV export?
Hope you can help
Thanks,
Eric
Arvind writes "i want to create a stored procedure returns an OUTPUT variable containing the no. of records given by a query, the query being dynamic.
Preferrably the query should also be passed as a parameter to the stored procedure...If not,it should be constructed in the SP and a Part of the where clause is dependant on the value of another variable passed to the SP.
How should the query be constructed, executed, and then the Count(*) value returned?
"WHERE <condition1> AND <condition 2> ;
"AND <condition 2> " may exist or may not exist in the query; it is dependant."
In my SSIS Package, I have to write my [FileHeaderRecord] row, then my [BatchHeaderRecord] row, then my details. How can I do this in a SQL Server Query? When I try my SSIS, my file looks like so..
FHTEST 00000208262015 BH000208262015
I want my BH, Batch Header data, to appear on a new row in the file.Do I have to build a dynamic query to do this?Is there any trick in SSIS to do something like this?I did try creating separate Data Flow Tasks to Query the [FileHeaderRecord] and then use a Flat File Destination and then another Data Flow Task to Query the [BatchHeaderRecord] and use a Flat File Destination again NOT overwriting the file.
I will be calling a stored procedure in SQL Server from SSIS. The stored procedure inserts records in a table by accepting input parameters. In the process, it also generates an output parameter that it passes as part of the parameters defined inside the stored procedure. The output parameter value acts as the primary key value for the record inserted using the stored procedure.
How can I call this stored procedure in SSIS? This is just one of the n steps as I will be extracting the output parameter generated by this stored procedure for the succeeding steps.
I have a table which is updated daily using a MERGE statement. As records are insert, updated and deleted, I am saving the OUTPUT from the MERGE statement into a history table with a timestamp and action$ column appended to the record.
Using this history table, I'd like to rebuild the data based on specific past date. I was able to create a stored procedure that inspects each record in the history table and apply it to the data in a temp table. The stored procedure solution uses multiple queries to rebuild the data at a point in time. I was curious if there was an easier and more efficient solution using a table function.
I am transferring data from an OLEDB source to a Flat File Destination and I want the column width for all of the output columns to 30 (max width amongst the columns selected), but that is not refected in the Fixed Width Flat File that got created. The outputcolumnwidth seems to be the same as the inputcolumnwidth. Is there any other setting that I am possibly missing or is this a possible defect?
Any inputs will be appreciated.

Hello friends,
I have the following (simplified):
1. Flat File Source
2. Conditional Split, Case Good = !ISNULL(KEY) Case Error = ISNULL(KEY)
3. Case Good -> Writes to Good Flat File (with timestamp in the title)
4. Case Error -> Writes to Error Flat File (with timestamp in the title)
Most job runs have no errors but the error file is created as a zero byte file anyway. If there are no error records I don't want the error file created. How might I accomplish this?
Thanks
I am trying to create an ssis package with dynamic csv file as output. and out format contains query output.
sample file name:
Unique identifier + query output + systemdate();
The expression is looking like this.
@[User::FilePath] + @[User::FileName] + ".CSV"
-- user filepath is a variable from ssis package. File name is the output from SQL query. using script task i have assigned the values to @[User::FileName] .
When I debugged the script task the value getting properly but same variable am using for Flafile destination. but its not working.
Hi all!
My question is quite simple I think... I am directing the result of my query to an output file my problem is how to set the rowsize of my output file to more than 256 (that is the default maximum)? My query result is quite long per row (assuming one column) in query anlyzer, I can easily adjust the result to more than 256 but the result in the output file is truncated because the ouput is more than 256 characters per row...how can I set (in the code) the length of the row of the result in the output file... thanks for the help... this is quite urgent...

I'm using SQL Server 2005 / 9.0.3042
I'm not new to sql server, but making my first experience with xml in sql server 2005.
I have a query like this (based on <Table> with neccessary data):
SELECT TAG, PARENT, <columns...>
FROM <Table>
FOR XML EXPLICIT
This query creates a xml file exactly as i need it when i execute it in Management Studio. Well, with one exception. It does not write the <xml...> tag at the beginning of the xml file. But i'm sure i get that in there somewho else. What i need to do now is get that output to a file on disk. And that's where my problem starts.
I tried SQLCMD within Management Studio, but that doesn't accept the ':XML ON' tag and ignores it. the resulting file written is not usable, as it also contains query summary information.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated!
Hi, All
I have a header row and a footer row and a bunch of detail data I have managed to split up into temp db tables, know i need to know what would I need to do to write the header , detail data and footer to the same file after all my validations have completed , this would be a different file then the one I originally imported all the data from (append to text delimited file).
Idealy I would only like to change the header and footer from the original file.
Any ideas - I am thinking of writing a application that does this for me and just executing it from
SSIS but I would really like to stick with standard SSIS components first before starting to write my own stuff.
Thanx in advance

Hi everyone -
I have a client who need to output some text from a stored procedure to a text file. The main problem is that it is a SOX system, so we can't use xp_cmdshell, and we can't create new tables. This rules out the following methods:
DTSrun
osql
bcp
I then thought well maybe we can convert the SP to a DTS package. Well that can't work because he stores the text to be output in a #temptable, and I couldn't get DTS to do data transformation on a temptable.
SQL Server 2000 SP4
Any ideas?

I'm converting a terribly written ColdFusion script and migrating it to T-SQL (SQL Server 2012). My problem is, I'm having issues with how to get these loops sorted out. For instaces, the CF query wouold be something like :
<cfquery name = "getData" datasource = "db">
SELECT id, name, date FROM table
</cfquery>
Following that, this query is looped into another set of queries:
<cfloop query = "getData">
<cfquery name = "getAddress" datasource = "globaladdress">
select * from globalAddress
where addressID = '#addressID#'
</cfquery>
[code]...
What I'm looking to do is turn the first query "getData" into the above loop, but rather in T-SQL.
