I have a table with several fields. I would like to ensure that that each triple combination from the three first fields is unique.
In other words, instead of ensuring unicity based on a single field, I would like to ensure unicity on a triple of fields (equality being defined as a field-wise equality for each one of the three fields).
How can I achieve that?
Thanks in advance,
Joannes
I was having some issues with converting this @BeginDate(which is passed in as a datetime) correctly and someone suggested the syntax below. It enloses it in triple single quotes. That seemed to work, but it also seems to work with single quotes too. Can someone explain the use of triple single quotes in stored procedures?
''' + CAST(@BeginDate as Varchar(30)) + '''
Hi,
I'm trying to import data from an xml file into a table in my database and I have a problem of unicity constraint in my table.
Here is an example of the data flow in my file :
CITY LOCATION_ID CATALOG_SAISON
PARIS 12 S06
PARIS 12 S07
NEW YORK 15 S06
BERLIN 14 S08
The primary key in my destination table is the two first fields CITY/LOCATION_ID, so I would like to have only one CATALOG_SEASON per CITY/LOCATION_ID. That's why I want insert the following flow in my destination table:
CITY LOCATION_ID CATALOG_SAISON
PARIS 12 S06
NEW YORK 15 S06
BERLIN 14 S08
In Transact-SQL, I can do it easily with an agregation on CATALOG_SAISON field, using a max() function for example : SELECT CITY, LOCATION_ID, max(CATALOG_SAISON) FROM temp_table GROUP BY CITY, LOCATION_ID
In SSIS I would like to do the same with an agregation task but I can't use max() function with a string field. So I can't agregate this field and the only solution I have found now is to create a temporary table in my database to execute the sql request and retrieve data I need.
I'm sure there's a best solution in SSIS, could you help me?
Thanks

I was wondering if SQL SERVER 2005 has a function to specify what date format you are using ex: in a where clause.
I'm looking for something like this
WHERE FORMAT(my_date, "yyyy/mm/dd")<= @my_date
So what's in red is what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance!

I have a SSIS package with the last three tasks in the control flow are stopping the SSAS, then "on success" the second last task is execute a batch file to copy a bunch of files to a remote server using the robocopy command, then "on success" the last task is to start the SSAS. I test all three tasks individually and they are all working fine. The problem is in-between the second last task and the last task, the second last task is to execute a batch file and then forward to the last task. The task just moved to the last task once the batch file is executed and it did not wait until the actual robocopy job is completed. Therefore it caused a problem in the robocopy process. Thanks.

In the 70-461 objectives it says: Ensure code non regression by keeping consistent signature for procedure, views and function (interfaces); security implications...I think I understand what this means in general. They want us to be able to create a view that will still be able to call the original data even if the table is modified. In other words, the view table shouldn't easily be broken. ie, type a code that does NOT ensure non regression, then change the code so that it does ensure non regression.

Hello all,
I am trying to think my way through a solution which I believe others have probably come across... I am trying to implement a matching routine wherein I need to match an address against a high value and a low value (or, for that matter an input date vs. a start and end date) to return the desired row ... i.e. if I were to use a straight vb program I would just use the following lookup:
"SELECT DISTINCT fire_id, police_ID, fire_opt_in_out, police_opt_in_out FROM ipt_tbl " & _
" WHERE zip_code = @zip_code AND addr_prim_lo <= @street_number AND addr_prim_hi >= @street_number " & _
" AND addr_prim_oe = @addr_prim_oe AND street_pre = @street_pre AND street_name = @street_name " & _
" AND street_suff = @street_suff AND street_post = @street_post " & _
" AND (expiry_date = '' OR expiry_date = '00000000' OR expiry_date > @expiry_date)" & _
" GROUP BY fire_ID, police_ID, fire_opt_in_out, police_opt_in_out"
My question, then, is how would you perform this type of query using a lookup / merge join or script? I have not found a way to implement a way to set the input columns? I can set the straight matches without a problem, i.e. lookup zip code = input zip code, but can't think of the correct way to set comparisons, i.e. lookup value 1 <= input value AND lookup value 2 >= input value
Any suggestions?
thanks for your time...
I have a DTSX package which reads values from a fixed-length text file using a data reader and writes some of the column values from the file to an Oracle table. We have used this DTSX several times without incident but recently the process started inserting NULL values for some of the columns when there was a valid value in the source file. If we extract some of the rows from the source file into a smaller file (i.e 10 rows which incorrectly returned NULLs) and run them through the same package they write the correct values to the table, but running the complete file again results in the NULL values error. As well, if we rerun the same file multiple times the incidence of NULL values varies slightly and does not always seem to impact the same rows. I tried outputting data to a log file to see if I can determine what happens and no error messages are returned but it seems to be the case that the NULL values occur after pulling in the data via a Data Reader. Has anyone seen anything like this before or does anyone have a suggestion on how to try and get some additional debugging information around this error?

Hi All,
I receive the input file with some 100 columns and some 20k+ rows and I want to check the incoming input row is existed in the database or not based on 2 key columns. If the row is existed then I need to check all the columns (nearly 100 columns) values in input and the database are equal or not. If both are equal I need to treat them seperately if not there is a seperate logic. How Can I do that check for each row and for each column?
Basically the algorithm is like this, if the input file row is not existed in the database then treat that as new row else if the input row is existed in the database then check all the columns are equal or not. If all the columns are equal then treat that as existing row and do nothing else if some columns are not equal then treat this row seperately.
I found some thing to achieve the above thing.
1. Take the input row and check in the database.
2. If the row is not found in the database then treat it as new row.
3. If row is found in the database then
a) Take the source row and prepare a concatenated string for all the columns
b) Take the database row and prepare a concatenated string for all the columns
c) Find out the hash code for the 2 strings and then compare hash codes for equal.
The disadvantage of this is running a loop 2*m*n times where m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns. It should be done 2 times for input file row and database row.
Can anybody suggest a good method to do this?
What does the function "GetHashCode" for InputBuffer in method "Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)" will do?
Will it generates hash code based on all the columns values?
Pls clarify.

The editor compressed all my space fields, so the column headers are off in some places.
I have a script that I use after some amount of data massaging (not shown). I would like to be able to change the
1) denominator value (the value 8 in line 32 of my code) based on how many columns are selected by the where clause:
where left(CapNumber,charindex('_', CapNumber)-1) = 1where capNumber is a value like [1_1], [1_4], [1_6]...[1_9] capNumber can be any values from [1_1]...[14_10] depending upon the specialty value (example: Allergy) and the final number after the equal sign is a number from 1 to 14)
2) I'd like to dynamically determine the series depending upon which values correspond to the specialty and run for each where: left(CapNumber,charindex('_', CapNumber)-1) = n. n is a number between 1 and 14.
3) finally I'd like to dynamically determine the columns in line 31 (4th line from the bottom)
If I do it by hand it's 23 * 14 separate runs to get separate results for each CapNumber series within specialty. The capNumber series is like [1_1], [1_2], [1_3],[1_4], [1_5], [1_6], [1_7], [1_8],[1_9]
...
[8_4],[8_7]
...
[14_1], [14_2],...[14_10]
etc.
Again, the series are usually discontinuous and specific to each specialty.
Here's the portion of the script (it's at the end) that I'm talking about:
--change values in square brackets below for each specialty as needed and change the denom number in the very last query.
if object_id('tempdb..#tempAllergy') is not null
drop table #tempAllergy
select *
into #tempAllergy
from
dbo.#temp2 T
[Code] ....
If I were to do it manually I'd uncomment each series line in turn and comment the one I just ran.
I have a table that lists math Calculations with "User Friendly Names" that look like the following:

(It isn't always as easy as removing spaces and added 'c' to the beginning of the string...)

I have one problem in SSIS for passing Variable Values while executing Package. I'm giving in details as below:
I opened Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Made Connection to Integration Services
To Execute Package I Right Clicked and Click on Run Package
Then I Clicked on Execute and package was executed successfully.
Problem is that if I try to Set Values then Package through Error
DTExec: Could not set ProcessMode value to M.
Basically I could not understand in which format I should pass the Variables.
What I tried is listed below:
ProcessMode;M
Package.Variables[User:rocessMode].Value;M
Package.Variables[ProcessMode].Value;M
But every time I got errors.
And then I tried from Command Line
DTEXEC /DTS "MSDBLoad_Order" /SERVER SERVERNAME /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING V /SET Package.Variables[ProcessMode].Value;M
First time Process run successfully. And it has changed the ProcessMode to M also. But after that it was also not changing the ProcessMode Value to M.
Please help in regarding. I tried a lot from Site examples also, but could not get proper solution.

Bitmask fields! I am capturing row changes manually via a high frequency ETL task. It works effectively however i am capturing the movement of multiple fields. A simple example, for Order lines, i have a price, a discount and a date. I am capturing a 001, 010, 100 respectively for each change.
I would like my users to be able to select from a dimension which has the 3 members in it and they can select one, multiples, or all values (i.e. only want to see rows that have had the date and price changed).
Obviously if i only had 3 columns i would use bit's and be done with it, i have many different values (currently around 24 and growing).
A have a multi-valued parameter (B) which is dependent on a single-valued parameter (A) on my report. When a value is selected in A, I want all matching values in B to be selected by default and the "Select All" option checked. To do this I have set the Default Values section in B to point to the same dataset as the "Available Values" section. Both A and B have default values so the report runs automatically.
One of the values in parameter A (say Value1) yields more values in parameter B than the other (say Value2).
If I run the report the first time with Value1 selected as the default for parameter A, all values in B are checked correctly. If I run the report with Value2 selected the first time and then change the selected value to Value2 and run my report, all values in B are displayed but only the values that were previously checked (when Value1 was selected), are now checked, leaving the "Select All" unchecked.
What am I doing wrong? Why are all the values in B not checked? The dataset is the same in "Available Values" section and "Default Values" section.
