Error: Unable To Retrieve Column Information From The Data Source
Jul 7, 2006
Hi,
I am trying to set up a data flow task. The source is "SQL Command" which is
a stored procedure. The proc has a few temp tables that it outputs the final
resultset from. When I hit preview in the ole db source editor, I see the
right output. When I select the "Columns" tab on the right, the "Available
External Column List" is empty. Why don't the column names appear? What is
the work around to get the column mappings to work b/w source and
destination in this scenario.
In DTS previously, you could "fool" the package by first compiling the
stored procedure with hardcoded column names and dummy values, creating and
saving the package and finally changing the procedure back to the actual
output. As long as the columns remained the same, all would work.
Thats not working for me in SSIS.
I am in process of transfering data from Sybase to Sql Server using SSIS 2005
have taken a Data Flow Task in Control Flow tab
In Data flow tab, I have taken one Ole DB Source and One OLe DB Destination
For the source, I am using Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere Provider 8.0
For Destination, I am using Sql Server 2005 database
In Ole Db Source Editor , For OLe Db Connection Manager, I choose Sybase Connection For Data access mode, I choose Table or View For Name of the table or the view, I choose a table by name Table1( it lists all the tables from Sybase database)
When i click on preview button or Columns link, I get the following Error
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: Unable to retrieve column information from the data source. Make sure your target table in the database is available.
Hello, I am getting very frustrated! I have got a Foreach loop container which I am processing files within a folder. I have a flatfile connection manager which I have set up using a test file and have updated the expressions attribute to be the package variable I set up in the collection for the loop container however everytime I run it I get the error: 0xC0202094 cannot retrieve the column information from the flatfile connection manager. I can only guess that it is either the variable being passed to the connection manager or the way I set up the connection manager. When I msgbox the variable in a script component before the dataflow step, the variable for the file seems fine. Any suggestions are REALLY appreciated.
I've developed a package that is working well at development machine from VS 2013 for a sample flat file. Also, over development machine, I've deployed it to SSISDB catalogue and even from there also it is running well for the same file.When the same package is deployed to production server's SSISDB catalogue database, it throws following error while processing the same sample flat file, “Unable to retrieve column information from the flat file connection manager”
The error message that comes while I preview the source data:
Error:
"The Preview sample contains embedded text qualifiers. The flat file parser doesnot support embedding text qualifiers in data. Parsing columns that contain data with text qualifiers will fail at runtime"
Is there any alternative to remove these text qualifiers from the file. Do we have any utility that can convert these files into text qualifier free CSV file?

Till recently we were using the following code to retreive schema information of columns of tables
Dim schemaTable = connection.GetOleDbSchemaTable( _ System.Data.OleDb.OleDbSchemaGuid.Columns, _ New Object() {Nothing, Nothing, tableName, Nothing})
Now instead of getting the name of table (which i was using as param for filtering) i'm going to receive a sql-query. Now my question is if I were to get a query like the following :
used enteprise manager to retrieve a group of data from one of our files. We have id set and need to bring these key fields back online for application to work. Help !!!..
we tried a demo software called apexsql to assist in the restore, however this does not update the files one by one..
I'm trying to figure this out I have a store procedure that return the userId if a user exists in my table, return 0 otherwise ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create Procedure spUpdatePasswordByUserId @userName varchar(20), @password varchar(20) AS Begin Declare @userId int Select @userId = (Select userId from userInfo Where userName = @userName and password = @password) if (@userId > 0) return @userId else return 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------ I create a function called UpdatePasswordByUserId in my dataset with the above stored procedure that returns a scalar value. When I preview the data from the table adapter in my dataset, it spits out the right value. But when I call this UpdatepasswordByUserId from an asp.net page, it returns null/blank/0 passport.UserInfoTableAdapters oUserInfo = new UserInfoTableAdapters(); Response.Write("userId: " + oUserInfo.UpdatePasswordByUserId(txtUserName.text, txtPassword.text) ); Do you guys have any idea why?
I receive this error "Setup was unable to load the master information file' when I lanch Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components.
In my application on click of Delete button, actually I am not deleting the record. I am just updating the flag. But before updating the record I just want to know the dependency of the record ie. if the record I am deleting(internally updating) exists any where in the dependent tables, it should warn the user with message that it is available in the child table, so it can not be deleted. I want to check the dependency dynamically. For that I have written the following procedure. But it is updating in both cases.
CREATE proc SProc_DeleteRecord @TableName varchar(50), @DeleteCondition nVarchar(200) As Begin Begin Transaction Declare @DelString nvarchar(4000) set @DelString = 'Delete from ' + @TableName + ' where ' + @DeleteCondition execute sp_executeSql @DelString RollBack Transaction --because i donot want to delete the record in any case If @@Error <> 0 Begin select '1' End Else Begin Declare @SQLString nvarchar(4000) set @SQLString = 'Update ' + @TableName + ' set DeletedFlag=1 where ' + @DeleteCondition execute sp_executeSql @SQLString select '0' End
I’m attempting to use DTS to import data from a Memo field in MS Access (Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider) into a SQL Server nvarchar(4000) field. Unfortunately, I’m getting the following error message:
Error at Source for Row number 30. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1. Data for source column 2 (‘Html’) is too large for the specified buffer size.
I also get this error message when attempting to import the same data from Excel.
Per the MS Knowledgebase article located at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281517, I changed the registry property indicated to 0. This modification did not help.
Per suggestions in other SQL Server forums, I moved the offending row from row number 30 to row number 1. This change only resulted in the same error message, but with the row number indicated as “Row number 1?. (Incidentally, the data in this field is greater than 255 characters in every row, so the cause described in the Knowledgebase article doesn’t seem to be my problem).
You might also like to know that the data in the Access table was exported into this table from a SQL Server nvarchar(4000) field.
Does anybody know what might trigger this error message other than the data being less than 255 characters in the first eight rows (as described in the KB article)?
I’ve hit a brick wall, so I’d appreciate any insight.Thanks in advance!
Hi,I'm trying to do retrieve some data from a table where the content isin Greek, however, thequery is not working. It's a very simple statement, but I'm missingsomething.Here is the table...if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)drop table [dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE]GOCREATE TABLE [dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE] ([XL_REPORT_ID] [int] NULL ,[TEXT_NAME] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASNULL ,[LOCALE] [int] NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOThe first statment shows me a number of rows. I copied the content ofthe Text_Name column and pasteit into QA to form the second statement. However, the second statementreturns no data.SELECT * FROM Report_LocaleSELECT * FROM Report_Locale WHERE Text_Name = 'Λογ.Διαχ. – Τ?.-*?ουπ.-Διαφ.'Hopefully the Greek characters will display properly within this post,but the idea is basically to take the Greek text and build that into aquery. I can do the remainder later once I understand why this doesnot work as I expect. I realise my expectation is based on doingthings in English so I need to understand the differences. We've donethis for various other languages using other character sets, which iswhy I am puzzled.Any pointers ?ThanksRyan
I have a SSIS package with a Data Flow task. This task transfers the data from SQL Server 2000 to a table in SQL Server 2005.
I deployed and tested this package on the Test Server. Then put this package in a job and executed it - Works fine.
On the production server- If I execute the package through DTEXECUI, it works fine. But when I try executing it through a job- the job fails and it gives me following error:
Description: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The "external metadata column "T_FieldName" (82)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection....
What I don't understand is, why are there no errors displayed when I execute the package through DTEXECUI.
How do I retrieve the connections (connection managers) collections from Custom Data Flow destination? ComponentMetadata.RuntimeConnectionCollection is empty. I would like to be able to access all the connections defined in the package from the custom data flow task.
I came across code in which it was possible to access the Connections collection using the IDtsConnectionService for custom task (destination). The custom task has access to serviceProvider, whcih can be used to get access to the IDtsConnectionService interface but not the custom data flow task.
I have recently installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express. The installation seemed to go OK (Dell Optiplex I86, Win2K).
The SQL Server Management Studio Express (also installed OK) appears to connect to the database server and shows the database tree as I would expect, consisting of Databases, Security, Server Objects, Replication, and Management.
However, when I attempt to create a new data source (Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Data Sources(ODBC ->ODBC Data Source Administrator -> Add->SQL Server)
Name: MYSQLS1
Descr: Test SQL Server
Server: (local)
(Next->)

Can anyone please tell me what's going on here ? What am I doing wrong?
Our company is doing some basic research into using analysis services as a solution for our customers. I've taken our database and built an analysis services project in BI Studio and deployed it to Analysis Services on my local machine I connect to Reporting Services in Management Studio, create a folder for the cube, give my Windows user acct. Content Manager permission, create the Data Source (conn string = "Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Data Source=(local)SQLServer2k5;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=STI-PDB" -- copied from the Analysis Services project in BI Studio), and go to "Generate Model". What I get is an rsModelGenerationError, sub [Create Perspective From Cubes] with a connection issue at the base:
Either the user, <computername>Thomas, does not have access to the STI-PDB Database, or the database does not exist. () (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services)
Now, in the Database Engine, my Windows account has the db_owner database role for STI-PDB and it's default schema is dbo, which all the objects are created under. What am I missing here?
What would be the most efficient method of constructing a sql statement to retrieve certain record into (this gets tricky) rows of a table with 3 columns date.desc.
I have a report and it retrieves information from an etl logging table which contains this info: etl_process_name, active_since_date, last_run_date.
When the packages are executing, the table cant be queried because it is in a transaction. Therefore the report keeps generating :s The thing I want is that: If I query that table (with the report to show the logging table information) and the packages are executing, I want to see the values of the table before the transaction.
What I tried: From sql management studio:
ALTER DATABASE MyDataBase SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON set transaction isolation level snapshot go SELECT etl_process, last_run, active_since FROM config.etl_settings
I did this while the packages were executing and it works but it won't work when I execute the same SELECT statement from the Dataset in the report. How is that possible? Does it have something to do with setting the database options for all users?
Additional info: I'm database owner The report solution has a shared datasource which refers to the same database
I have just downloaded an evaluation version of SQL server from the microsoft website and installed it in my PC.
Now I want to create file data source.
I followed these steps: -From the control panel, ODBC datasource admin -click the DSN tab -click the add button -select the sql server driver, enter the data source file name -enter "local" in the server text box as I installed the sql server in my standalone PC. -click next After that I had this error. "Connection failed. SQL server does not exist or access denied."
But The sql server service is running.
Can anyone help me where did my configuration go wrong?? Thanks...
We have a SSIS project where we load lot of image files using an OLE DB Source component and put it across the database as varbinary into OLEDB Destination component.
Things were fine until now where am getting an error like this. alongside the log also reads like,
There is not enough space on the disk. Long data was retrieved and can't be added to the data flow task buffer.
Is this method of loading the files using an OleDb Souce not the efficient one ? If not is there a way I can get this done. Comments are highly appreciated!!
If I had a bunch of paragraphs stored in a database field, is there a way, when displaying that data, that I can write instructions to only retrieve the very first paragraph?

Hello, I need to retrieve all the information about all the foreign key constraints,inorder to store them temporarily (to be deleted later)and then recreated after making the necessary modifications to the concerned tables. The stored proc sp_helpconstraint shows all the constraint types, their user-defined or system-supplied name, the columns on which they have been defined, and the expression that defines them.But I don't know whether it can be manipulated to get what I want.I need to get it done programmatically..so that I can integrate it in my program which I'm building up progressively. Any help or scripts would be appreciated!
