Data Flow: Converting Data In Multiple Columns
Sep 28, 2006
Hi,
I'm just wondering what's the best approach in Data Flow to convert the following input file format:
Date, Code1, Value1, Code2, Value2
1-Jan-2006, abc1, 20.00, xyz3, 35.00
2-Jan-2006, abc1, 30.00, xyz5, 6.30
into the following output format (to be loaded into a SQL DB):
Date, Code, Value
1-Jan-2006, abc1, 20.00
1-Jan-2006, xyz3, 35.00
2-Jan-2006, abc1, 30.00
2-Jan-2006, xyz5, 6.30
I'm quite new to SSIS, so, I would appreciate detailed steps if possible. Thanks.

Hi:
I have a data flow task in which there is a OLEDB source, derived column item, and a oledb destination. My source is a SQL command, that returns some values. I have some values, that I define in the derived columns, and set default values under the expression column. My question is, I also have some destination columns which in my OLEDB destination need another SQL command. How would I do that? Can I attach two or more OLEDB sources to one destination? How would I accomplish that? Thanks

Hello,
I have a survey (30 questions) application in a SQL server db. The application uses several relational tables. The results are arranged so that each answer is on a seperate row:
user1 answer1user1 answer2user1 answer3user2 answer1user2 answer2user2 answer3
For statistical analysis I need to transfer the results to an Excel spreadsheet (for later use in SPSS). In the spreadsheet I need the results to appear so that each user will be on a single row with all of that user's answers on that single row (A column for each answer):
user1 answer1 answer2 answer3user2 answer1 answer2 answer3
How can this be done? How can all answers of a user appear on a single row
Thanx,Danny.

I have a data flow task which has around 5 data flows (like the 2nd diagram shown here). These 5 simple flows with just a row count transformation in between. Now, I want to fail the entire task immediately even if one of the data flows failed. Right now if one flow fails the remaining flows fails after a long time, not immediately. How can I make it fails immediately.
The other I would like to do is Can I place these 5 data flows in a transaction, so that if one data flow fails, others data flows also roll backs? ( I assume its not possible)
Thanks

Seems obvious but I can't see how. How would I remove columns from a data flow so that columns which have been used earlier but are not needed for insert/update are taken out of the flow.
I'm asking because the data ends up in a update statement and the flow has got so big it is unreadable.
Cheers, Al

Hello,
I am new to SSIS.
I am trying to write a simple package to export data from some SQL 2005 tables and into a flat file.
In my data flow, I am using the OLE-DB data source and then the flat file destination.
This all works fine except that I cant get the package to write the columns out in the order I want. Even when I drive the OLE-DB source by a query, they columns are getting written to the flat file in a different order than I want.
How is SSIS determining what order to write the columns in and, more importantly, how can I change it to do it in the order I want?
Please help if you can. As mentioned I am new to SSIS so please give clear+simple answers.
Thanks

I am populating a table using a SQL command. very simple.
SELECT RISKID
,RISKIDREN
,RISKIDEND
,PREMIUMSUBTOTAL
,PREMIUMTOTAL
,SURCHARGE1
,SURCHARGE2
,SURCHARGE3
,SURCHARGE4
,SURCHARGE5
,COMMPREMIUM1
FROM PREMIUM
However, the first three columns are not being populated in the destination table. The other columns come over fine.
The SQL stmt. returns data as expected when run against the source database.
I deleted the source and destination and recreated the flow to prevent metadata mapping issues. In the source editor preview I see all of the columns and data. In the destination editor preview, the first three columns of data are null ???.
It appears that the columns are not mapping properly even though they are in the source and destination of the mapping editor.
I have made sure that the destination mapping contains all the columns in the UI.
The source and destination have the columns represented in the advanced editor metedata. I also checked the XML to verify that the columns are in the destination.
There is a row count between the source and destination. which should have no effect.
This is a part of a larger DW load where I have 10 other tables populated within the dataflow. I also do not get any validation, or error messages. So, I have eliminated truncation errors or the like.
I am really puzzled. Has anyone run accross anything like this?

Hi, all here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am wondering if it is possible to use SSIS to sample data set to training set and test set directly to my data mining models without saving them somewhere as occupying too much space? Really need guidance for that.
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

I keep getting a waring:
[Production IDW [1]] Warning: Truncation may occur due to retrieving data from database column "Industry" with a length of 16 to data flow column "Industry" with a length of 8.
When I look at the industry lookup table the column size is 50. But the data flow metatdata is saying the oclumn is 8. How can I change the data flow column? When I try to edit it and click on metadata it is uneditable. The field it is matching to is 50 and the field it is coming from is 16.

Hi,
The further i get with doing my current SSIS package the more i am starting to wonder about best practices and performance.
My current package loops through CSV files in a specified location and extracts events from these files. Each file contains multiple events which are a mixture of different types. Depending on the event there are a different number of comma seperated values. In the package i firstly set each event to one column seperated by a comma delimeter. I then create an array for the event which is split by the delimeter. In a script i weed out all elements of the array that are common to all events and set the remaining events to another array. After some processing i come to my conditional split transformation which splits the processing of each event based on the EventID. This is where i'm having doubts on whether i have approched the package correctly. There are approximately 60 different events so each one of these has a seperate pipeline to process the remaining parameters in the array and output them to the destination table. The destination table is differnet for each ID. Is it viable to have this amount conditions and paths when creating the pacakge and is this likely to have any detrimental effect on performance. Is there possibly another way that i could approach this problem?
Many thanks, i hope that made sense.

I have 5 or more tables to join to get a particular output which has to be sent to a destination table. In the 5 tables some are inner joins and some are left outer join. I am opting for stored procedure at this point. But I would like to know how can this be done in data flow transformations having multiple souce and merge joins or any other alternates. I tried using merge join, but this does not accept more than two tables.
I saw this simple post which kick started me to use ssis transformations to stored procedures. But I encounter issue.
http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1322
error
"The destination component does not have any available inputs for use in creating a path".
Please advice alternates

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having multiple data flow tasks in one SSIS package?
Is this a good idea at all considering the workflow may be similar now but may change in the future? Should it be left as one data flow per package?

I need to loop the recordset returned from a ExecuteSQL task and transform each row using a Data Conversion task (or a Script Task).
I know how to loop the recordset returned by an ExecuteSQL task:
http://www.sqlis.com/59.aspx
I loop the returned recordset (which is mapped to a User variable of type System.Object) and assign the Variable Mappings in the ForEach Loop to different user variables which map to the Exec proc resultset (with names and data types).
I assume to now use these as the Available Input columns for the Data Conversion task, I drag a Data Flow task inside the For Each Loop container and double-click it, then add a Data Conversion task.
But the Input columns (which I entered in the Variable Mappings in the ForEach Loop containers) dont show up in the Available Input columns of the Data Conversion task.
How do I link the Variable Mappings in the ForEach Loop containers from the recordset returned by the Execute SQL Task to the Available Input columns of the Data Conversion task?
.......................
If this is not possible, and the advice is to use the OLEDB data flow as the input for the Data Conversion task (which is something I tried too), then the results from an OLEDB Command (using EXEC sp_myproc) are not mapped to the Available Input columns of the Data Conversion task either (as its not an explicit SQL Statement and the runtime results from a stored proc exection)
I would like to use the ExecuteSQL task to do this as the Package is clean and comprehensible. Which is the easiest best way to map the returned results from a Stored proc execution to the Available Input columns of any Data Flow transformation task for the transform operations I need to execute on each row of data?
[ Could not find any useful advice on this anywhere ]
thanks in advance!

I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below) and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.

My goal is to run a bunch of select statements from different tables in one database and have them all insert to the same columns/table in the new database. Do I need a new data source for each statement, or is there a way to run all the statements in one set seeing as they all have the same destination. I keep receiving the SQL statement improperly ended error when trying.

Hello All,
I am rather new to reporting on SQL Server 2005 so please be patient with me.
I need to create a report that will generate system information for a server, the issue im having is that the table I am having to gather the information from seems to only allow me to pull off data from only one row.
For example,. Each row contains a different system part (I.e. RAM) this would be represented by an identifier (1), but I to list each system part as a column in a report
The table (System Info) looks like:-
ID | System part |
1 | RAM
2 | Disk Drive
10| CPU
11| CD ROM |
Which
So basically I need it to look like this.
Name | IP | RAM | Disk Drive|
----------------------------------------------
A | 127.0.0.1 | 512MB | Floppy
So Far my SQL code looks like this for 1 item
SELECT SYSTEM PART
FROM System Info
WHERE System.ID = 1
How would I go about displaying the other system parts as columns with info
Any help is much appreciated!

Suppose if I have a “Foreach Loop Container” that iterates over a list. Is it possible to execute different data flow tasks based on the input?
Example : List contains elements L1, L2 & L3.
ForEach Loop Container checks the input. If its L1 then it should execute DF Task1, If L2 then execute
DF Task2 and similarly for L3.
Is it possible to achieve this?

Hi,
I'm trying to implement an incremental data pull (Oracle to SQL) based on Andy's blog:
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andy_leonard/archive/2007/07/09/ssis-design-pattern-incremental-loads.aspx
My development machine is decent: 1.86 GHz, Intel core 2 CPU, 3 GB of RAM.
However it seems the data flow task gets hung whenever I test the package against the ~6 million row source, as can be seen from these screenshots. I have no memory limitations on the lookup transformation. After the rows have been cached nothing happens. Memory for the dtsdebug process hovers around 1.8 GB and it uses 1-6 percent of CPU resources continuously. I am not using fast load to insert new records into my sql target table. (I am right clicking Sequence Container 3 and executing this container NOT the entire package in the screenshots)
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/1.jpg

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/5.jpg
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/6.jpg
The same package works fine against a similar test table with 150k rows.
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/7.jpg
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/8.jpg
The weird thing is it only takes 24 minutes for a full refresh of the entire source table from Oracle to the SQL target table.
Any hints,advice would be appreciated.

I am creating a report that contains a table. The table only has one column containing 10 characters so there is a lot of wasted space on the page. I would like the columns to wrap to at least two columns on each page. I have tried to set the number of columns on the report properties to two, however it seems as if the second column is disabled and the data does not wrap into the second column when the report is run.
Any suggestions would be GREATFULLY appreciated!

So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.

I'm working on a sales commission report that will show commissions for up to 5 sales reps for each invoice. The invoice detail table contains separate columns for the commission rates payable to each rep, but for some reason the sale srep IDs are combined into one column. The salesrep column may contain null, a single sales rep id, or up to five slaes rep IDs separated by the '~' character.
So I'd like to parse the rep IDs from a single column (salesreplist) in my invoice detail table (below) to multiple columns (RepID1, RepID2, RepID3, RepID4,RepID5) in a temp table so I can more easily calculate the commission amounts for each invoice and sales rep.
Here is my table:
CREATE TABLE invcdtl(
invoicenum int,
salesreplist [text] NULL,
reprate1 int NULL,
reprate2 int NULL,
reprate3 int NULL,
reprate4 int NULL,
reprate5 int NULL,
)
Here is some sample data:
1 A 0 0 0 0 0
2 0 0 0 0 0
3 I~~~~ 15 0 0 0 0
4 A~B 5 5 0 0 0
5 I~F~T~K~G 5 5 2 2 2
6 A~B
As you can see, some records have trailing delimiters but some don't. This may be a result of the application's behavior when multiple reps are entered then removed from an invoice. One thing for sure is that when there are multiple reps, the IDs are always separated by '~'
Can anyone suggest a solution?

Hi, All,
I need to pass a parameter from control flow to data flow. The data flow will use this parameter to get data from a Oracle source.
I have an Execute SQL task in control flow to assign value to the Parameter, next step is a data flow which will need take a parameter in the SQL statement to query the Oracle source,
The SQL Looks like this:
select * from ccst_acctsys_account
where to_char(LAST_MODIFIED_DATE, 'YYYYMMDD') >?
THe problem is the OLE DB source Edit doesnt have anything for mapping parameter.

Hi all,
If I have a column in one table (contracts) that contains a set of values (codes that identify the fields contract code) like as follows...
Code:
Contracts table
--------------------------------
Concode - description
--------------------------------
KIDD - Kidderminster General
UNIV - University Hospitals
and then another table (controls) which has a column called contracts where the data within the 'Contracts' field is set out like the following (yes that is right, each of the data in this column are the Foreign Keys which are separated by '/' in which I need to query against the contracts table ) ...
Code:
controls table
--------------------------
Code - Contracts
--------------------------
BA - KIDD /UNIV /NWPCT
With the those tables and the columns like they are, how can I get my query to display the following information...
PHP Code:
---------------------------------------------------
Con(Controls table) - Description(contracts table)
---------------------------------------------------
BA - Kidderminster General
BA - University Hospitals
---------------------------------------------------
I'm guessing my first job is to somehow extract those Foreign Keys from the 'Contracts' column in the 'Control' table
Tryst
