I have to extract data from 3 different tables and insert it into another table. I can use a regular union all query or use 3 ole db sources and then use union all transform. What would be the difference here, is there any beneffit on using the transformation? Why would I use the union all transform instead of a regular query with union all statement?
I have an SSIS package I've been working on that has been working just fine until now.
There are four inputs to this package, all OLEDB Inputs based on SQL Statement expressions.
These four inputs are then merged with a Union All step.
One of the merged columns is called "unit" and now suddenly this column cannot be added to the union all step for one of the inputs.
I get the following error: Error at Import mat [Union All [330]]: The metadata for "input column "unit" (8979)" does not match the metadata for the associated output column.
Error at Import Mat [Union All [330]]: Failed to set property "OutputColumnLineageID" on "input column "unit" (8979)".
My question is Can anyone suggest how I can diagnose this issue? I can't see the metadata in question, but when I physically inspect the results of the source queries, they all seem consistant with each other. The unit column is derived in similar fashion in each query. I'm a bit lost with this. I can't seem to shake off the error. Nothing has changed in the database to cause this.
For detecting delta records, I'm a big fan of SQLIS' checksum transform. I'm having difficulty in it's install on my current machine, however. After the installation and the new transform is added to my DataFlow toolbox... I can't open the UI for the transform to define the checksum. Instead, I get the following error:

SELECT row_number() over (ORDER by a.empid) as rec_num, empname FROM employee_a UNION SELECT row_number() over (ORDER by a.empid) as rec_num, empname FROM employee_b
the problem is the rec_num repeat for each statement like this :
rec_num empname
1 john 2 maggy 1 lee 2 mary 3 louis
How do i make the rec_num continue for the next statement after union.
tblOpenSiteDates Site: int OpenDate: smalldate Comment: VarChar
tblCloseSiteDates Site: int CloseDate: smalldate Comments: VarChar newLocationID: int
I am trying to get a view which would display a site with the open and close dates. Null is ok for a close date for those opens that are still open.. not every office has an open date and close date.. it is possible to have just a close date and not an open date (ie unsure of open date but I know its closing)
so the output would be
viewOpenCloseSites Site: int opendate: smalldate closedate: smalldate
Hi, Can some one help me to complete this query. My requirement is to convert the existing stored proc(given below) to one that allows dynamic paging as well as sorting(sql server 2005). I gave a try but invein. I am running out of time.

Hi,Should be quite simple but can someone please tell me the best way tocount the number of rows in an UNION ALL statement.I tried using @@ROWCOUNT but that doesn't seem to contain the correctnumber.Also, I assume that running the query again but just returning count(*)instead of the data is horribly inefficient (plus the code is thenbloated.)?Thanks,Mark
This seems a bug to me. Or does anyone has a logical explanation that escapes me?
When in SSIS Designer Version 9.00.1399.00 I add output columns (numeric 4,0 ) to a scriptcomponent and fill them with valid numeric data in thescript I get a database error 'invalid number' when I use these columns in an OLE db Command-transformation . This errormessage disappears when I replaces those columns by a dataconversion to the datatype they originally have.
I am running dts in Sql Server 2005 management studio from Management, Legacy and data Transformation Services.
Once the dts has run, I get this error message "Error Source : Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Error Description : Error accessing Windows Event Log."
If you have two synchronous transformation components and the input of the second is connected to the output of the first, does the first transformation process (loop through) all rows in the buffer before outputting these rows to the second transformation? Or does the first transformation output each individual row to the second transormation as soon as it has finished processing it?

I am getting an error that I am stuck on. I dragged the Audit Transformation for error handling (Flat File Source); however, the Audit Transformation is returning an error for one of the standard column "User name". I tried to change the length or take out this column, but the error does not go away. Below is the error message. Your help is much appreciated!

I have a query which does 3 selects and Union ALLs each to get a final result set. The performance is unacceptable - takes around a minute to run. If I remove the Union All so that the result sets are returned individually it returns all 3 from the query in around 6 seconds (acceptable performance).
Any way to join the result sets together without using Union All.
Each result set has exactly the same structure returned...
Query below [for reference]...

I have a flat file source, OLE DB Source, and a Script component, all with output columns defined and loaded. The flat file source has a connection manager defined, as does the OLE DB Source. The Script is just a counter.
I'd like to put the value from each, into a row, then into an OLE DB Destination table. It seems harder than it appears.
I am developing a custom destination component and I have encountered a few areas where there seems to be a lack of helpful documentation and examples.
1. I have not been able to find any information on or examples of creating custom destinations with an error output. The OLE DB Destination has an error output so I investigated the input and error output properties in the advanced editor and found that the OLE DB Destination error output is synchronous with the input (its SynchronousInputID matches the input's ID) and has its ExclusionGroup value set to 1. Using this information, I modeled my error output after the OLE DB Destination.
Shortly after I start my SSIS package and it encounters an error row, I get the following exception: [My Destination Adapter 1 [3512]] Error: System.ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range. at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper.IDTSBuffer90.DirectErrorRow(Int32 hRow, Int32 lOutputID, Int32 lErrorCode, Int32 lErrorColumn) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.PipelineBuffer.DirectErrorRow(Int32 outputID, Int32 errorCode, Int32 errorColumn) at MyDestination.ProcessInput(Int32 inputID, PipelineBuffer buffer) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ManagedComponentHost.HostProcessInput(IDTSManagedComponentWrapper90 wrapper, Int32 inputID, IDTSBuffer90 pDTSBuffer, IntPtr bufferWirePacket)
2. My custom destination component is used for writing a file with a fixed schema. I followed the means by which source component examples add their output columns, but applied this to my external metadata columns. In my Validate() I check if the ExternalMetadataColumnCollection.Count == 0 and return DTSValidationStatus.VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA; to force a call to ReinitializeMetaData(). In ReinitializeMetaData() I call a method that creates the input's external metadata columns that reflect my external data source.
This works fine except every time I add my custom destination component to a SSIS Package and go to edit the component I am greeted with a dialog box that states: "The component is not in a valid state. ... Do you want the component to fix these errors automatically?" Pressing the Yes button, I assume, makes the call to ReinitializeMetaData() and I have my external metadata columns. Where is the correct place to add the external metadata columns so the user does not have to take this extra step every time they add my component to their package?
Error at Data Flow ACH Validate File and Header Info [Lookup ACH Batch Number [506]]: input column "ID" (571) and reference column named "BANKBATCHNBR" have incompatible data types.
"Lookup ACH Batch Number" is the name of the lookup transformation. input column "ID" has a string data type. reference column "BANKBATCHNBR" has a varchar(50) data type. can someone please tell me how i should go about debugging this validation error? thanks.
Hi all€”Given a date field called [Reading Date] and a time field called [Reading Time], I am attempting to use the following transformation on the field to test for nulls and combine the data into a single field called [Reading Date/Time]:
Error at Data Flow Task [Derived Column1[177]]: Attempt to parse the expression "(DT_WSTR)([Reading Date]== "") || ISNULL([Reading Date]) || (DT_WSTR)([Reading Time]== "") || ISNULL([Reading Time])?

The expression might contain an invalid token, an incomplete token, or an invalid element. It might not be well-formed or might be missing part of a required element such as a parenthesis.
Here is a sample [Reading Date]: 05/07/08

I need to be able to handle exceptions if one or both contain NULL or no data at all. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I have a SSIS package which contains a number of slowly changing dimension transformations. While the majority work I have one which gives me the following error 'Error: The variable "System::LocaleID" is already on the read list. A variable may only be added once to either the read lock list or the write lock list. '. This error only occurs if the destination table holds data. If I truncate the table and reload the data then the package complete successful. The only difference I can see between this dimension transformation and the other dimension transforms is that the one in question has 2 business keys while the rest have 1.
How would you do a log in a massive rows loading, I'm having problems because every row error(because of casting, format, lookup) in a transformation task is redirected to a text file as a log, this is ok when only exist one error by row, but in the case when I have two errors in the same row detected by diferents transformation tasks only the first one is reported to the text file, I have to wait to the second information load, after I correct the first error, to find the second one, I need to validate as many errors exists by row in the same load...
which component or which strategy can I use in a SSIS Packge to achieve this?
