Dynamic Excel Creation In SSIS
Feb 26, 2008
Hi All, i've been reading this article http://rafael-salas.blogspot.com/2006/12/import-header-line-tables-_116683388696570741.html
in regards to creating an excel spreadsheet dynamically in SQL Server 2005 SSIS. However, i'm constantly getting an where the tab is created but not being populated. Can somebody post up a clearer example?
The problem I'm trying to solve is to automate the export of a query onto a new dynamic spreadsheet each time I run this SSIS package.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi all,
I did a few searches but did not find this specific scenario. Can anyone state with confidence whether this is possible (and if so, how)? Scenario:
-One table with a couple million rows (one column indicates which Country the record belongs to)
-Need to create an Excel 2007 file dynamically (for each Country) using SSIS 2005. Filename should include the Country Name (Sweden_Affliliated.xlsx). I have a table that contains a distinct list of all the countries. Each worksheet will have the same structure / schema across all files.
What seems to be working:
**I understand how to use an Execute SQL task to get the list of Country Names and bind to an object variable.
**I understand how to set variable mappings for a String variable to contain the "current Country" in a ForEach Loop.
**I understand how to set the OLE DB Data Flow Source to use a SQL command from a String variable that has the CountryName dynamically embedded within it.
**I understand I need to convert my varchar to Unicode using a Data Conversion task in my scenario.
**I understand that in order to write to an Excel 2007 file I need to use an OLE DB Destination with an Extended Property value of "Excel 12.0" and the ServerName property should contain a path to the file with no quotation marks.
Problems I have:
**OLE DB Destination: How do I set up the mappings when the file does not exist yet?
What I want to avoid, is having to create a template source XLSX file and using a File Copy task (I have gone this route before, but it would be best if I did not require a template). Is there a way to configure the SSIS package without using a File Copy Task? Creating the Excel file on the fly?
Thanks for any assistance in advance,
Brian

I have an excel file which has dynamic columns
i.e. Col1, Col2, Col3 this week. next week i will have a new Col4 in the sheet. This will keep on adding every week.
My problem is to Unpivot the data
Date 8/2/2013 8/9/2013 8/16/2013
Stock 1,561 1,661 1,761
i.e. the abobe table should become as
Date Stock
8/2/2013 1561
8/9/2013 1661
8/16/2013 1,761
How can I unpivot the dynamic columns given that the columns will keep on increasing every week.

Hi All,
I have a web site where the user can select from a list of databases (they're actually all the same structure, but have data unique to each client). Each database is a SQL 2005 database held in the App_Data folder. This all works a treat. Each database is simply named after the client it is holding data for, and the connection string for each is stored in a database that is accessed
However, what I need is a form where a database name can be entered, and I can then create a new database with the same structure as the others - including tables, indexes and stored-procedures. I know I can use the copy database wizard in the Management Studio, but that isn't an option to the users of this system (it's to be used on an intranet, and the page I'm trying to create will only be used by project managers - but these people won't have a clue when it comes to configuring databases themselves). I have scripted a database, but have no idea on how I can actually use this script from within Visual Studio and more importantly, don't know how to configue it to have the database name as a parameter.
I've also seen some examples that suggest using SQL-DMO, but haven't been able to work out how to use it and according to Microsoft it shouldn't be used for new developments (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms132924.aspx).
Anyway, I really hope someone is able to offer some assistance on this one as I've spent a whole day trawling forums and various web-sites trying to find a solution to this.
Thanks & regards,
Paul

Hi,I'm trying to create some tables dynamically based on the content of another table in the same database. I found a post that does what I want to do, but I can't get my code (that is similar to the post) to work.Given below is my code: 1 DECLARE @deptCode varchar(50), @numberOfDept int, @tableName varchar(MAX), @columnName varchar(MAX)
2 DECLARE @lengthDeptCode int, @lengthTableName int, @lengthColumnName int
3
4 SELECT @numberOfDept = COUNT(DISTINCT DeptCode)
5 FROM tbl_Department;
6
7 WHILE (@numberOfDept >=0)
8 BEGIN
9 SELECT @deptCode = DeptCode, @lengthDeptCode = LEN(DeptCode)
10 FROM tbl_Department;
11
12 SET @tableName = 'tbl_ProjectNumber'+@deptCode
13 SET @lengthTableName = LEN(@tableName)
14 SET @columnName = 'ProjectNumber'+@deptCode
15 SET @lengthColumnName = LEN(@columnName)
16
17 CREATE TABLE CAST(@tableName as char(@lengthTableName))
18 (
19 CAST(@columnName as char(@lengthColumnName)) int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL
20 )
21
22 SET @numberOfDept = @numberOfDept - 1
23 END
This is actually my first time using SQL programatically so I'm guessing there are alot of problems with it. I just don't know what exactly. The error I get is:Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 18Incorrect syntax near '@tableName'. Thanks.

Hi there,I am trying to generate tables names on the fly depending on another table. So i am creating a local variable containing the table names as required. I am storing the tables in a local variable called@TABLENAME VARCHAR(16)and when i say SELECT * FROM @TABLENAMEit is giving me an error and I think I cannot declare @TABLENAME as a table variable because I do not want to create a temp table of sorts.I hope I am clear.thanks,Murthy here

I'm wondering if there is a control available for creating/modifying db tables through a web interface. I want for users to be able to add/remove, rename, and change the datatype of certain fields in a database table. I've been searching all day online if such a control exists in asp.net but haven't found anything.

I'm trying to read the folder which has flat files and transform it and put it another folder with the SAME original name.
I created a For Eachloop containter and assign it to variable infile. In the data flow I added some transform and flat file destination. currently its reading 3 files and output is only one file.
I would like to create dynamic flat file connection so that it'll create separate files (same name) in different folder.
Thanks,

Hi All,
I'm new to SSIS. I have a small problem. In our system we are trying to create flat files based on data from returned from different SQL stored procedures. The configuration settings for creating the flat files are stored in a SQL table.
For example, the config table will look like below :
Feed Id Feed Name Feed File Name Feed Stored Procedure Name
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 Biz C:Biz.txt dvx_GetBiz
2 PG C:PG.csv dvx_GetPG
3 NexT C:NexT.txt dvx_GetNexT
4 Amez C:Amez.csv dvx_GetAmez
The problem is dvx_GetBiz, dvx_GetPG,... all have different number and types of columns. So, I'm not able to create a dynamic Flat File destination depending on the columns returned from the corresponding stored procedure.
Is there a way to accomplish this ?
Pl. help.
Awaiting someones reply ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Vidya.

I hope some of you can point me in the right direction. I am new to all this and
working on a project using Cubes.
The cubes need to be generated in a dynamic fashion as the contents
(that means field) in the fact tables change change every quarter and are
based off of a external application.
The base strucutre stays the same though. So we thought we would export the
XMLA representation of the cube and then munge (word for alter) the data in the
XMLA file and send it someplace to create the new cube on a SQL 2005 server.
This seemed easy enough but I have found no real information on how to
run some piece of code that would create the cube based on this XMLA code.
On another note is there a parsing object for the XMLA so i dont have to right one from
scratch?
Thanks,
Bob

Hello. I'm trying to create a new login and username inside a trigger using variables.
This code works:
create login testUserName with password = 'testPassword'
The problem comes when I try to use variables for the username and password like this.
create login @username with password = @password
Does anybody know how to get around this problem?
BTW, the error message it gives is this, but I really doubt that semicolons have anything to do with it. If I literally type my data in the create login call it works fine, but when I use variables it doesn't.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 14
Incorrect syntax near '@username'.
Msg 319, Level 15, State 1, Line 14
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression or an xmlnamespaces clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.

Hi Craig/Kamal,
I got your email address from your web cast. I really enjoyed the web cast and found it to be
very informative.
Our company is planning to use SSIS (VS 2005 / SQL Server 2005). I have a quick question
regarding the product. I have looked for the information on the web, but was not able to find
relevant information.
We are getting Source data from two of our client in the form of Excel Sheet. These Excel sheets
Are generated using reporting services. On examining the excel sheet, I found out that the name
Of the columns contain data itself, so the names are not static such as Jan 2007 Sales, Feb 2007 Sales etc etc.
And even the number of columns are not static. It depends upon the range of date selected by the user.
I wanted to know, if there is a way to import Excel sheet using Integration Services by defining the position
Of column, instead of column name and I am not sure if there is a way for me to import excel with dynamic
Number of columns.
Your help in this respect is highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Hi Anthony, I am glad the Web cast was helpful.
Kamal and I have both moved on to other teams in MSFT and I am a little rusty in that area, though in general dynamic numbers of columns in any format is always tricky. I am just assuming its not feasible for you to try and get the source for SSIS a little closer to home, e.g. rather than using Excel output from Reporting Services, use the same/some form of the query/data source that RS is using.
I suggest you post a question on the SSIS forum on MSDN and you should get some good answers.

Hi,
I have a requirement to create #Temp table in database and insert values to it.
I use following code:
DbCommand dbCreateTable;
dbCreateTable = provider.CreateCommand();
dbCreateTable.Connection = conn;
dbCreateTable.CommandText ="Create table #MyTemp (Id varchar(10))";
dbCreateTable.ExecuteNonQuery();
string[] insertValues = {"Insert into #Mytemp values ('TestString1')",
"Insert into #Mytemp values ('TestString2')"};
DbCommand dbInsertData = provider.CreateCommand();
dbInsertData.Connection = conn;
foreach (String insertStr in insertValues)
{
dbInsertData.CommandText = insertStr;
dbInsertData.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
Code creates the Temp table but when it comes to insert statement, it throws error saying "Temp table not found".
Reason can be Create and Insert statement gets executed as 2 different sessions.
How to get the above requirement work fine?
Thank you.

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 am relatively new to this. I am trying to create a SSIS package that loops through several SQL tables. The first table is results_C01 and the last table is results_C18. They are in the same database. The number of tables will be increasing over time. I would like to perform a series of the same SQL tasks on these tables. My thought was to utilize a For Loop and imbed the SQL tasks within the For Loop. The SQL task would utilize a variable for the table name that would increment from results_C01 to results_C18 as it cycled through the For Loop.
I am able to create a For Loop with a variable, but I am not able to get the variable from the For Loop to equal and increment from results_C01 to results_C18. Secondly, I am not able to create an SQL task that utilizes a variable for a table name. I am really stuck.

hello,
I'm new to this SSIS package creation thing and I'm a little stuck. I have to create a SSIS project and create packages that drop - create a database, then create either 1 or 3 different packages that use a config file for input on dates to run and return data. My question is:
1) how can I get a package to read a config file?
2) do i need to create 3 seperate configs files for each different packages?
3) How can I pass in parameters to the config file or allow the config file allow for parameters to be passed in? meaning: I need to allow my config files run between dates I entered in.
I'm totally new to this SSIS thing, I'm a .NET developer and never done this stuff before in my life so I'm not really sure how to do most of this stuff within the VS 05 IDE for the SSIS package creations.

I'm trying to create an SSIS package that will do a straight data copy between databases. The problem is that the underlying schema of the origin may change and the requirement is that the transfer be table driven. i.e. the tables that are copied are listed in a table and there should be no human intervention when the schema changes.
I'm moving data between SQL Server and SQL Azure, so backup and restore doesn't work. Has to be an SSIS package.
What's the best way to deal with a changing schema in an SSIS package? Can I delete and rewrite the underlying XML for any tables that change? Do I need to do it programmatically with C#? Do I need to create the package from scratch each time?

I have one task in which i have to collect lots of .txt file having ## delimiter my requirement is to convert the delimiter from ## to comma and save the new file with .dat extension in different folder.
I have done all required process and run the application which should flow like collect source .txt file do Script component processing and create new .dat file with processed data in Data Flow task, but in my Task the Source and Destination start on same time and process start after words which cause empty file or some time a.txt file data stored in b.dat file where as a.dat file is completely empty.
The process should flow in sequence but behavior is totally against the process, i am using Foreach Loop Container for pick up each file.

While importing data from Excel source , some column is getting null value even though excel column has value.To Resolve the issue we tried with

1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
• xls
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftJet4.0EnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
the connection string of the excel
UPPER(REVERSE(SUBSTRING( REVERSE(@[User::VarInputExcelFile]), 1, 5) ) ) == ".XLSX" ? "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";":"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";"
by doing the above setting also , the column is coming as null from excel source even though there is data in excel.
