Data Conversion And Derived Column Issue
Jul 31, 2007
Hi all of you,
I think that I've done a big mess on my work... I've got plain file which must be loaded into a sql table. Up to there no problem, I use Derived Column due to columns needed be transformed with NULL, RIGHT, LEN, and so on...
But in this last package I've done half of work using Data Conversion but I've got five columns which would need be transformed but I don't know how can I do such thing. I can't connect a Derived Column from Flat File Source task, of course, it's already data conversion...
Let me know if you need further details.
Previously I think, silly idea, that it could be unified or better, that Data Conversion task allows me make transformations...
Thanks a lot for your ideas and thoughs,

I'm reading a .csv file that has a column such as 17June2007:00:00:00, how can I convert this column in my Derived Column routine so its inserted into my DateTime column in my database?
so far I've tried
DT_DateTimeStamp
DT_Date
DT_DBDate
DT_DbTime
and its kicking back errors on this column. What do I have to do to convert 17June2007:00:00:00 into a readable datetime for the database column?

So I am trying to change my date type which is in the 1/1/2015 12:30:10 PM to a 2015-1-1 00:00:00
So I am using Derived Columns to do the trnasformation in Visual Studio but I am getting the following error:
An error occurred while attempting to perform a typecast
So this is what I did
Step 1:
Load date into OLE DB Source
Step 2:
Replace function
REPLACE(ATL,"1/1/2015 12:30:10", "1900-01-01 00:00:00)
Step 3:
Replace Function
REPLACE(ATL,"/","-"0
Step 4:
Replace funtion
REPLACE(REPLACE(ATL, "AM",":00"),"PM",":00"
Step 5: this is where the error occurs
(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)ATL
Step 6:
Load into OLE DB Destination File

I need to know what a table's max row Identity is part way thru a data flow. I can't get it at the beginning of the data flow. I need to either (1) add it to the data buffer part way thru or (2) set it into a package variable and then reference the var in a script component.
I've not found a way to add a database column to the data buffer without doing a lookup for each row (too slow and not appropriate here) or some goofy oledb source and then merge join into the data buffer on a contrived join.
I've read questions about referencing package vars in scripts but I can't get that to work. DTS.Variables("varname").Value isn't recognised when I code it up.
Anyone have an idea or solution for either one of these? If you're gonna explain the script code, please include the entire snipet including the INCLUDEs, etc.

I am adding a new column with the derrived column data flow Transformation and am having a problem with it coming through as a deciaml format.
The destination column is set as "numeric(18, 9)" but no matter what i change the data type to in the transfomation editor it will only bring through the calculation as a whole number (IE it rounds the number up) The destination table shows the zero's after the "."
What do i need to do to get this coming through as a number with decimals
Heres the expression i am using
(PROG_CREDITS / (PROG_DURATION / 12)) / 120
Cheers

I have a numeric column with the following sample values in a source flat file:
240
6
48
310
55
I would like to dump them in a table (destination) as string with the length only 3 and in the following format "xxx" .
Data in the destination column will look like this after the transformation:
240
006
048
310
055
Thanks for your help!

Hi all--I've got a derived column transformation where I am adding a field called Import_Date. I'm telling it to add as a new column and use the function "GetDate()" to populate the field. When I run the package, it returns NULL as the data value for all rows. Any idea why this might be happening?

Hi Experts,
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.

I have one column CandidatePlaced (Data type Boolean).
Using data conversion i changed data type to DT_WSTR and then i used derived column to manipulate the data. Ex. 1 = "Yes" and 0 = "No"
[Candidate Placed ?] == "1" ? "Yes" : "No"
But at end of result i got all the columns as No. Some should be Yes.

i have too many DTS packages to migrate to SSIS, and while examining a DTS package in BIDS (converted with the migration utility) i tried to edit the resulting migrated package, which opened the DTS interface with the two connection icons joined by the big fat arrow with a gear on it...not exactly what i had in mind, iow, it looks like SSIS on the outside, but its still DTS on the inside.
So I stripped out a series of components from a more complex package hoping that simplifying it would reveal the contents of old DTS Transformations tab at least partially set up in a Derived Column transformation.
Can i get there from here, or must i recreate every stinking definition in a derived column manually from the ground up?
thanks very much for your help

Hi:
In the derived column transformation editor, I have a Derived column name called FileGroupID. I would like to pass in a value for this column from a variable that I have set earlier in the scope. Can someone let me know, how to write the expression that does that and where do I specifiy that expression. I am thinking its the expression field in the derived column transformation editor. My main question is how to actually write the expression, what is the syntax to pull the variable value? Thanks.

W2k3 server, SQL 2005.
@@version = Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86)
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2
(Build 3790: Service Pack 1)
I have my first SSIS package almost working, but I'm having an odd problem and can't find any information to help resolve it.
I'm importing from a flat file (csv) to an existing table (append). I've got a Derived Column transformation in the middle to do some data cleanup. It's all working except for one little problem...
One of the transformations is 'REPLACE([Column 3],"^","; ")', output to a new column. (The input file has a field that uses carets as delimiters between an unknown number of items; I'm changing that to semicolons for easier reading.) Not all rows have data in this column, some will have one item, some will have multiple items.
The REPLACE works except that it fills in repeated data for all the blank rows.
Example:
Incoming data is:
1 Smith,Jane^Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3
4 Adams,James^Adams,Jim
5
6 White,Debra
Data inserted into the table is:
1 Smith,Jane; Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3 Brown,John
4 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
5 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
6 White,Debra
I've tried to use a Conditional to skip the empty rows, but I can't get that working at all (get syntax errors no matter what I put in).
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be most appreciated!
Thank you.

Hi, I was wondering if it is posible as in derived columns to replace an input column with the output one in Data Conversion?
What I can see that when a data conversion is done, only we can do it in a new column and not in the same one we are using as input.
Do you know if this it is posible?}
Thanks for your help!

I am task with identifying the source database name, id, and server name for each staging table that I create. I need to add this to a derived column on all staging tables created from merging same tables on different servers together.
When doing a Merge Join, there is no way to identify the source of data so I would like to see if data came from one database more than the other servers or if their are duplicates across servers.
The thing that bugs me about SSIS Data Flow task is there is no way to do an easy Execute SQL Task after I select my ADO.NET Source to get this information because my connection string is dynamic and there is no way of know which data source is being picked up at runtime.
For Example I have Products table on Server 1 and 2:
Server 2 has more Products and would like to join the two together to create a staging table.
I want see the following:
Product ID, Product Name, Qty, Src_DB_ID, Src_DB_Name, Src_Server_Name
1 IPAD 1000 2, MyDB1, Server1
100 ASUS Pad 40 1, YourDB, Server2
get database name and server name in DATA FLOW only (without using a for each in Control Flow)

Hi,
I have dates in "mmddyy" format coming from the sources and they are older dates of mid 80s like 082580 for instance.
When I cast it this way (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) Source_Date , It says ok but throws a runtime error.
When I hardcode a date in same format, (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) "082580" , It becomes red (an indication of syntax error) . Please note that we use double quotes in expressions in Derived Column Transformation; So an anticipation that using double quotes over single ones would be the syntax problem would be wrong.
Any help in this will sincerely be appreciated.
Thanks

Hey all - got a problem that seems like it would be simple (and probably is : )
I'm importing a csv file into a SQL 2005 table and would like to add 2 columns that exist in the table but not in the csv file. I need these 2 columns to contain the current month and year (columns are named CM and CY respectively). How do I go about adding this data to each row during the transformation? A derived column task? Script task? None of these seem to be able to do this for me.
Here's a portion of the transformation script I was using to accomplish this when we were using SQL 2000 DTS jobs:
'**********************************************************************
' Visual Basic Transformation Script
'************************************************************************
' Copy each source column to the destination column
Function Main()
DTSDestination("CM") = Month(Now)
DTSDestination("CY") = Year(Now)
DTSDestination("Comments") = DTSSource("Col031")
DTSDestination("Manufacturer") = DTSSource("Col030")
DTSDestination("Model") = DTSSource("Col029")
DTSDestination("Last Check-in Date") = DTSSource("Col028")
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
***********************************************************
Hopefully this question isnt answered somewhere else, but I did a quick search and came up with nothing. I've actually tried to utilize the script component and the "Row" object, but the only properties I'm given with that are the ones from the source data.
thanks in advance!

Table structure as follows
Employee
Empno empname salary
commission
I want to have an other employee table named employee_modified
Empno empname salary
commission derived_column1(salary+commission)
derived_column2(derived_column1 + xxxx) and so on derive other
columns based on the earlier derived columns)
Is that possible to do it.. or am I doing something wrong.
something like
Select empno , empname , salary , commission,
(salary + commission) as derived_colum1 ,
(derived_colum1 + xxxxx) as derived_colum2 ,
(derived_colum2 + xxxxx) as derived_colum3
into employee_modified from employee

Hi, how are you?
I'm having a problem and I don't know if it can be solved with a derived column expression. This is the problem:
We are looking data in a a sql database.
We are writting the SQL result in a flat file.
We need to transform data in one of the columns.
For example: we can have 3 digits as value in a column but that column must be 10 digit length. So we have to complete all the missing digits with a zero. So, that column will have the original 3 digits and 7 zeros. How we can do that tranformation? We must do it from de the flat file or it can be a previous step?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Regards,
Beli

I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.
I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.
I hope someone can help me work through this.
Thanks in advance,

Hi, wondering if anyone can help me. I currently have a field that has a date and time in it in the format dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss. Ideally I would like to get rid of the time part of it altogether but for it to still be recognised as a date as opposed to a string. However, I've been told that this is not possible in 2005, is this true? If this is the case, what would be the best way to set the time to 00:00:00 after the date for all records on that field?

I am trying to transfer data from SQL Server 2005 table to another SQL Table. In the source table there is a field called Region [nvarchar(max)]. The values for these fields will be like APAC-China, NA-Racine, etc., i.e Region followed by the country name seperated by - symbol. I want the destination tablre with 2 fields Region[nvarchar(max)] and Country [nvarchar(max)]. I am using a Derived Column task to achieve the same.

Hi,
I am doing a task which will get all data based on several base and crosswork tables. I used stored procedure to get the data, but the next step will be using derived column to massaging data, and to load to the destination database. Is there a way to do that since I must generate data on the fly?

I am trying to create a derived column from two separate fields. One is a date field in format of 2008-03-01 and one is a time field. In DTS I use to have something like this:
DTSDestination("TransactionDate") = cdate(DTSSource("DSRHDATI")) & " " & timevalue(DTSSource("DSRHTIME"))
I am trying to figure out how to do this in SSIS. I know I have to use a dervived column but can't seem to come up with the correct syntax. Any help would be apprecaited. thanks.

In a Derived Column data flow transformation, why can't I refer to a derived column (added in that same transformation) in the expression for another derived column? It seems I am forced to chain 2 DC data flows, just to do something as conceptually simple as:
a = x + y; b = a²
On a related note: Can I define a variable that is scoped to each row? Can I bind a variable in an expression to avoid creating a new row, e.g.
let a = x + y; a²
as the expression for new row b?
