Hey all
I am exporting table rows (based on a query) into an excel file but I don't want to append to the file. I would like to delete the rows that were previously added and then add the new data. The file has column headings and I would like these to exist all the time.
I know how to export the data but don't know how to delete 'old' data rows from excel.
Any guidance will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Rupa
Hi,
When expoting data from excel to sql server table, using SSIS package, after exporting is done, how would i check source rows are equal to destination rows. If not to throw an error message.
How can we handle transactions in SSIS
1. when some error/something happens during export and the # of rows are not exported fully to destination, how to rollback the transaction in SSIS.
Any sort of help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I am in a bit of a quandry. I have an Excel spreadsheet source, but I only want certain rows from the spreadsheet, which will be delineated by a header and footer row (Start and End). Here is my script thus far (see below).
My question is, what is the correct way to do this? I guess I am stuck on syntax. i.e.) Do I need to create an OUTPUT BUFFER?
Thanks
==============================
Sample data:
blah
Start
Frank 1234 1234 1234
Sue 2345 2345 2345
End
blah
blah
==============================
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
Static Section As String
'Set sections
If Row.Name = "Start" Then
Section = "Start"
End If
If Row.Name = "End" Then
Section = "End"
End If
If Section = "Start" Then
'GRAB THESE ROWS AND SEND THROUGH THE PIPELINE
'IGNORE ALL OTHER ROWS!
'What syntax goes here?
'Output buffer?
End If
End Sub
Hi,
I export one table to Excel using Export Wizard. Second time I have used this creator I have checked option "Delete rows in destination table" because table already exists in Excel file.
During execution I get an error:
"Error 0xc002f210: Preparation SQL Task: Executing the query "DELETE FROM 'MyTable'" failed with following error: " and here is my translation from my language: "Deleting data from linked table is not supported by this version of ISAM"
I have also saved this package to a file and here is the full connection string to my Excel file:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:Documents and SettingsprzemekPulpitmyfile.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES";
Few days ago I have been using SQL2000 on the same machine and the same export was working properly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

How to delete rows in an excel worksheet?
I have the following code in the exeutesqltask but i keep getting a syntx error.
'DELETE FROM 4DialMeters'
Remeber that this is an Excel source and I need to find out what the correct syntax is for the DELETE Statement in Excel.
I have a DTS package that needs to refresh data in 3 separate Excelspreadsheets on a daily basis. The problem is that unless I manuallydelete the previous day's data, it appends rather than replaces.I can't delete the excel files on a daily basis, as they have to bethere for the DTS package to be able to export to Excel. What I wantto do is create a VBScript (ActiveX Control) to delete all the rows ofdata except the first row within each spreadsheet as the first step ofthe DTS package. Then the remaining steps would run and thespreadsheets would only have the current day's data at the end of theprocess.Thanks for any help offered.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI ran the following query in Query Analyzer on a machine running SQL Server 2000. I'm attempting to delete from a linked server running SQL Server 2005:
DELETE FROM sql2005.production.dbo.products
WHERE vendor='Foo'
AND productId NOT IN
(
SELECT productId FROM sql2000.staging.dbo.fooProductList
)
The status message (and @@ROWCOUNT) told me 8 rows were affected, but nothing was actually deleted; when I ran a SELECT with the same criteria as the DELETE, all 8 rows are still there. So, once more I tried the DELETE command. This time it told me 7 rows were affected; when I ran the SELECT again, 5 of the rows were still there. Finally, after running this exact same DELETE query 5 times, I was able to remove all 8 rows. Each time it would tell me that a different number of rows had been deleted, and in no case was that number accurate.
I've never seen anything like this before. Neither of the tables involved were undergoing any other changes. There's no replication going on, or anything else that should introduce any delays. And I run queries like this all day, involving every thinkable combination of 2000 and 2005 servers, that don't give me any trouble.
Does anyone have suggestions on what might cause this sort of behavior?

View 3 Replies View RelatedShort Question: How do I delete all records from a destination table prior to appending new data to that table?
I am working with a SQL database that was migrated from MS Access. All relationships, primary keys, and identity columns have been set identically to the MS Access database values. The MS Access database is still being used as the database of record until the SQL database is fully functional with front-end, etc.
I want to delete the information stored in all the SQL tables, and then append the MS Access values to the SQL tables. I was able to write delete and append queries in MS Access to correctly transfer data to the SQL tables. However, I would prefer doing this through SSIS because I have several other sources of data to move to a SQL Server database and most of those other sources are not a MS Access database.
Due to relational entegrity settings, I need to delete the records from 8 tables in a specific order. I have tried independent control objects for each of the 8 tables with data flow objects of either "OLE DB Command" or "OLE DB Source" with the SQL command as "Delete From TableName". Results of the debug indicate everything is "green" but no records were deleted fromt the tables.
Hi all,
I am developing an ETL wherein the requirement is to do an incremental load and at the same time, if there is a record that got deleted in the Source delete it from the destination too, makes sense.
The approach am doing is, pick data from the SRC and Destination, pass it onto a Merge join component, do a Full Outer join, then pass the rows to a conditional split. Newly Added records and updated records I can handle, how do I handle the Deleted records?
Am I correct in the way I am doing or there is something better to handle this?
Thanks in advance

How do I delete records in the destination file in SSIS using BI Development Studio?

I'm a novice to SSIS (and we've never used DTS).
Writing a Control flow that inserts records worked fine, using lookups and all, but i can't find somewhere an example on how to update records of even delete records.

Does an empty file (text/ Excel) needs to be created manually for the connection manager for (text/excel)destinations. Can I create the file at run time?????
View 1 Replies View RelatedGreetings. I have been trying to develop an SSIS package that updates external data (Visual FoxPro tables) from SQL Server 2005. I have tried this various ways: using various Data Flow task components that flow to an OLEB Destination; using an Execute T-SQL Task; and even trying Management Studio interactively with the OpenDataSource('vfpoledb', etc.) statement. For each of these techniques, I have no problem performing a SELECT from the VFP data. Also, I have no problems performing an INSERT of new records using any of these techniques. However, both UPDATE and DELETE of existing records fail.
Is it possible the the OLE DB driver doesn't support UPDATE and DELETE operations? It appears that I'm not allowed to change or delete existing records, only add new ones. Or, are there other techniques I can be trying?
I am aware that updating FoxPro data can be performed by pulling the data from SQL Server into FoxPro. For our purposes, it would be more convenient if the processes could be initiated and managed from the SQL Server side of things instead.
Thanks much,

Hello-
I'm not able to find this information so I thought I would ask it here. I'm in the process of exporting some data from a OLE source to a excel spreadsheet. My only problem is that in the beginning of the spreadsheet there are some logos and other misc data. So I need to start my data dump on a few cells below all of this information . Is there a way to tell SSIS a certain cell to begin the data pull from a database table? I just want to start for example in cell "A50" instead of "A1". Is this possible ?

Hi,
My OLE DB Source and Excel desintation values all will be assigned during the run time but it does work during design time but as on runtime columns are different. That's why it does not work.

SQL Task using ADO enumrator read one record(one report), Give that record to For Each contair which Create the Excel file on the fly using one of variable from my table and uses a stored procedure to dump data to excel using Dataflow Task.

sqlQuery
Exec Report.MyReport 1
Does it mean for 10 reports, I have to create 10 different data flow tasks, or it can be done using one data flow tasks but changing columns on the run time.
Please Help

I am looking to generate batch reports in an excel format when data becomes available. I want those files in a shared directory and I want the ability to send them out via email. Formatting is very important. I cannot use SSRS because the spreadsheets need additional formatting that SSRS does not provide (naming of tabs, numbers formatted as numbers without "the number in the cell is formatted as text..." comment, etc.). I also need to get this done quickly.
SoftArtisans OfficeWriter seemed to have a solution that generating excel sheets on the server using datatags in cells. I saw another post on xlsgen (http://www.excelgenerator.com/). I am a little suprised there is no Microsoft solution. Is there one outside of installing Excel on the server?

Is it possible to force the generated CREATE TABLE code to maintain the same field order within the OLE DB source that feeds its. I have a feeling its random property I will never find. However with the large number of fields I am dealing with and the necessity to have an exact order. I was hoping there was an easier work around then to recreate the CREATE TABLE sql manually.

I have one question about deleting blank row on flat file destination from conditional split.
I create an SSIS package to filter data from Flat file source.
On flat file source, it is Ragged right format and header row delimeter in {CR}{LF}
the coulums are devided manulaay using markers.
I use only 2 columns divided and send the source into conditional split task and the conditions are given to filter data,
when the output from conditional split is placed on flat file destination, i notice blank rows on the output. I want to delete the blank rows so the result data can be displayed continuously in rows.
anybody has any idea for this? I know the script task will work but hope to avoid to use script task.
Thank you in advance for all the help.
Environment:
Running this code on my PC via VS 2005
.Net version 2.0.50727 on the server (shown in IIS)
Code is in ASP.NET 2.0 and is a VB.NET Console application
SSIS 2005
Problem & Info:
I am bringing in an Excel file. I need to first strip out any non-detail rows such as the breaks you see with totals and what not. I should in the end have only detail rows left before I start moving them into my SQL Table. I'm not sure how to first strip this information out in SSIS specfically how down to the right component and how to actually code the component to do this based on my Excel file here: http://www.webfound.net/excelfile.xls
Then, I assume I just use a Flat File Source coponent or something to actually take the columns in the Excel and split into an OLE DB Datasource to shove each column into a corresponding column in my SQL Server Table. I have used a Flat File Source in the past to do so with a comma delimited txt file but never tried with an Excel.
Desired Help:
How to perform
1) stripping out all undesired rows
2) importing each column into sql table
