Hi,
I am migrating a dts package into SSIS.The dts package has a dynamic property to set the execution status of a data pump task in the package.
the dts paskage is setting the DTSstepexecstatus of the datapumptask to 1 or 3 ie waiting and inactive.
The dynamic property cannot be migrated to SSIS.
May i know any equivalent property in SSIS to DtsStepExecStatus property of Dts.
Thanks in advance

Hi All,
I have a column in my table that is of varchar(max) datatype, when I try selecting the same using a ExecuteSQLtask and assign it to a variable of String datatype, its failing with the error,
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "Select [Path] from PARAMETERS where [Name] = 'List File'" failed with the following error: "The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::list_file_path" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object. ". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
What is the equivalent datatype, is String not good enough? Is there something I am missing out here ?If someone has gone through this and figured out a solution please help....
I have 100+ tables that are imported from several OLE DB sources. In my current solution I am using 'SELECT * INTO' so I can grab everything without having to manually define a schema. I'm trying to build a SSIS package that will perform the same task but running into two problems. Any ideas?

Hi,
I am converting an ActiveX script. I am looking to replace the functionality of this statement:
If DTSDestination("CartoonCharacter") = "Felix" Then ...
So, it's checking the value in the TABLE, not the file.
I need to rewrite this for SSIS. What is the recommended approach? Is there a built-in task that will do this and how?
Thanks much
Hi everyone,
Right now we are trying to replace all stored procedures by SSIS logic.
One of the stored procedures does the following,
1. For Every record in PSTREELEAF find the Hierarchy FROM
PSTREENODE and store them in local valriables.
First the stored procedure pulls all the data from the PSTREELEAF table based on join condition into local variables using cursor. Then for every record in the cursor it finds the corresponding records from PSTREENODE table. This is just a part of the stored procedure.
can anyone tell me how can i do this in SSIS? and also tell me which task would be a perfect replacement for CURSORS in SSIS?
Thanks,

Hi,
I would like to use an equivalent of ROW_NUMBER() T-SQL function in a SSIS package.
I could create a temporary table and use a SQL request with ROW_NUMBER() function but I would like to avoid that and generate this column in the dataflow.
Is there an easy way to do that?
Thanks,
Arnaud Gervais.
Hi,
I have a dts package that currently uses a dynamic properties task to set the values of global variables. Each variable is based on the value of a query to the database.
I am in the process of migrating this dts package to SSIS but cannot find an equivalent function. I have looked at property expressions but cannot get this working the same way.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I am trying to read in a flat file, transform the fields and store into a destination database.
In DTS, this works using Transform Data Task Properties. I define the columns and then have a VB script on the Transformations tab that changes any bad data.
Is there a way to do this in SSIS that I can define the column transformations and re-use my VB scripts?

Hi JayH (or anyone). Another week...a new set of problems. I obviously need to learn .net syntax, but because of project deadlines in converting from DTS to SSIS it is hard for me to stop and do that. So, if someone could help me some easy syntax, I would really appreciate it.
In DTS, there was a VBScript that copied a set of flat files from one directory to an archive directory after modifying the file name. In SSIS, the directory and archive directory will be specified in the config file. So, I need a .net script that retrieves a file, renames it and copies it to a different directory.
Linda
Here is the old VBScript Code:
Public Sub Main()
Option Explicit
Function Main()
Dim MovementDataDir
Dim MovementArchiveDataDir
Dim MovementDataFile
Dim MovementArchiveDataFile
Dim FileNameRoot
Dim FileNameExtension, DecimalLocation
Dim CurMonth, CurDay
Dim FileApplicationDate
Dim fso ' File System Object
Dim folder
Dim FileCollection
Dim MovementFile
'======================================================================
'Create text strings of today's date to be appended to the archived file.
FileApplicationDate = Now
CurMonth = Month(FileApplicationDate)
CurDay = Day(FileApplicationDate)
If Len(CurMonth) = 1 Then
CurMonth = "0" & CurMonth
End If
If Len(CurDay) = 1 Then
CurDay = "0" & CurDay
End If
FileApplicationDate = CurMonth & CurDay & Year(FileApplicationDate)
'=====================================================================
' Set the movement data directory from the global variable.
MovementDataDir = DTSGlobalVariables("gsMovementDataDir").Value
MovementArchiveDataDir = DTSGlobalVariables("gsMovementDataArchiveDir").Value
fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
folder = fso.GetFolder(MovementDataDir)
FileCollection = folder.Files
' Loop through all files in the data directory.
For Each MovementFile In FileCollection
' Get the full path name of the current data file.
MovementDataFile = MovementDataDir & "" & MovementFile.Name
' Get the full path name of the archive data file.
MovementArchiveDataFile = MovementArchiveDataDir & "" & MovementFile.Name
DecimalLocation = InStr(1, MovementArchiveDataFile, ".")
FileNameExtension = Mid(MovementArchiveDataFile, DecimalLocation, Len(MovementArchiveDataFile) - DecimalLocation + 1)
FileNameRoot = Mid(MovementArchiveDataFile, 1, DecimalLocation - 1)
MovementArchiveDataFile = FileNameRoot & "_" & FileApplicationDate & FileNameExtension
If (fso.FileExists(MovementDataFile)) Then
fso.CopyFile(MovementDataFile, MovementArchiveDataFile)
' If the archive file was coppied, then delete the old copy.
If (fso.FileExists(MovementArchiveDataFile)) Then
fso.DeleteFile(MovementDataFile)
End If
End If
Next
fso = Nothing
folder = Nothing
FileCollection = Nothing
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function
I have looked around and found the equivalent for IIF (Access) to be aSELECT CASE in SQL. I have tried this with no success. I am also lookingfor the equivalent of MAX and have had no luck. The portion of thestring I am trying to SQL'ize is:SELECT Max(IIf([ADCN.ADCN] Is Null,0,[ADCN.ADCN])) AS ADCN FROM ADCNINNER JOIN Sheet ON ADCN.RecordID = Sheet.RecordID WHERE (Sheet.Drawing= '" & x & "') AND (Sheet.SheetNumber = 0);This portion is the most important:SELECT Max(IIf([ADCN.ADCN] Is Null,0,[ADCN.ADCN])) AS ADCN*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

We managed to restore the databases, but we do not know in what state, i.e. which stored procedures were written between the restore point and the point the machine crashed.
Tow questions related to this:
1. I was wondering if there is any product that is similar to soursesafe but appied to databases, so that this problem will not happen again. Does Enterprise manager do something like this?
2. I was also wondering if there was anyway to undo an sql command. e.g. my colleague recently ran a command to update a database, but forgot to write the where clause!! That data was recovered aswell, but it would be nice to have some sort of undo button.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
In this sql syntax
Quote: "SELECT table1.ID, table1.Catagory, table1.PostCount, table1.LastPostDate, table1.Description, table2.Username, table2.ID AS UserID FROM Catagories AS table1 INNER JOIN Users AS table2 ON table1.LastPostBy = table2.ID"
Is this the equivalent?

I have 2 SQL statements in Visual Basic(with sybase as backend)
1) "set option DBA.MAX_STATEMENT_COUNT = 1069999900"
2) "set option DBA.MAX_CURSOR_COUNT = 1069999900"
And when I migrated the DB from Sybase to SQL server and try to run the vb code it is giving me error in that SQL statement as MS SQL server might not be recognising the above two statements. Is there an equivalent of this in SQL server.
Thanks

Hello,
I'm creating a view in SQL and am looking for something equivalent to the IIF ststement in Access.
Basically I want to create 2 new columns, which are based on the result of 1 of the other columns.
So if in my columns I have :
ID - NAME - FLAG - TIMEFROM - TIMETO
11 - Fred - 0 - 09:00 - 10:30
12 - John - 1 - 11:30 - 15:30
etc, etc, etc
I want to add the first new column saying something along the lines of "If Flag = 0 then DateTo - DateFrom, otherwise Null"
and then add a second column saying "If Flag = 1 then DateTo - DateFrom, otherwise Null"
Therefore the above would show :
ID - NAME - FLAG - TIMEFROM - TIMETO - NEWCOL1 - NEWCOL2
11 - Fred - 0 - 10:00 - 10:30 - 0:30 - Null
12 - John - 1 - 11:30 - 15:30 - Null - 4:00
etc, etc, etc
This in turn would give me 2 new columns which would show value 1 and value 2 - 1 being where the flag is not checked, and 2 being where the flag is checked.
Does this make sense ?
Hi.I'm a casual sql user. I have found a situation where I need to convert anoracle statement to tsql, one I can just fire off in any sql tool against anms sql server database.I studied the exists statement and I think I understand it somewhat, however Iwas not sure how to get it quite right. If you have an idea and a minute ortwo I'd appreciate any insight or tutorial.insert into authorization (program, optiontitle, usergroup, authorizationid)select 'EVERYWHERE','NAVIGATOR',usergroup, authorizationseq.nextvalfrom allgroups where exists (select * from authorizationwhere authorization.USERGROUP = allgroups.USERGROUP andauthorization.optiontitle = 'READ' and authorization.program = 'EVERYWHERE')I believe that because in my data, three values of usergroup from allgroupsreturn true from the exists, that this is supposed to insert three rows intoauthorization.But I can't figure out what to do about the authorization.nextval.. I triedvarious max(authorization)+1etc but nothing seemed to compile/workthanksJeff Kish
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,Please excuse me if this has been asked before or sounds a bit dim.This is a question asked on another forum but the solutions beingoffered are focussing on programming rather than letting the DB serverdo the work, which I'm not sure is the most efficient solution.However, my confession is I dont use SQL server so can't help themdirectly with the syntax. Hopefully you can help me help them and learna little about SQL Server in the process.Trying to right pad a first name field so the padded string is a totalof 30 chars. It will be output concatenated with the last name field,and each field separated with a "|". So that when output it readssomething like:fname | mylastnameSyntax given was:select id,substring((last_name+','+rtrim(' '+isnull(level,'))+''+rtrim(isnull(first_name,'))+space(30)),1,30)+ ' | ' as student_namefrom studentIssue: It appears this is padding correctly but the spaces are notrendering in the browser. (I have no way to check this as I don't usesqlserver. However, I can understand that multiple spaces are not goingto render in the client browser, if indeed the query is padding withspaces.Question: Instead of using space(), can replicate() be used and aunicode space representation rather than an actual space be used? Or,is there a better way that will ensurethe padding shows in browser?I guess a fixed width font would also need to be used otherwise the30-char blocks could wind up being different widths, which would defeatthe purpose.If there is something I've missed, or you have any suggestions, I'mkeen to learn.TYhanks in advance,Lossed

View 13 Replies View RelatedHi Folks,
Is there any effcent way of copy bulk records from SQL2000 to SDF ? The approach I am using at moment is manually concatenate insert CommandText based on the value datatable from SQL 2000. However, it's not very effcient and I am getting timeout on a table that has around 30 fields and 3,600 records.
Can any one think a better way of doing bulk insert on SDF? Both schema on SQL 2000 and SDF are exactly the same.

I am looking for a way to programatically determine the size of the data contained in a table, much like the sp_spaceused proc in SQL Server.
