Execute SQL Task - Datetime As Parameter (US/EU Regional Settings)
Feb 7, 2008
Here's the situation:
I have a ssis package which receives 3 dates as input parameters (3 datetime variables), executes different data flows and at the end inserts (among some other values) these 3 dates into a custom log table.
The problem comes while inserting the values into a log table. I added an Execute SQL Task that calls a stored procedure which inserts a record into a log table (sqlStatement exec dbo.InsertIntoLog date1=?, date2=?, date3=?).
In Parameter mapping section I set parameters = variables that hold the datetime values. The problem is that the dates are inserted into the log table in American format (mm/dd/yyyy, that's the server setting), my dates are in the european format...
Any ideas how to avoid it? Is there a way to write an expression instead of the sqlStatement in which I'd do some datepart-ing?
I have been playing around with SSIS for a bit, and i am running into the following problem.
I am trying to import 3 worksheets from an excel file. The import must be performed on several servers.
I created a config file for this which contains the path to the excel file and the connectionstring, and the LocaleID's of the different tasks.
I have the following tasks :
1. preparation SQL task ( this calls a few sql statements which cleanup certain import tables ) 2. data flow task ( this the actual import from the excel file to several tables, this what goes wrong ) 3. execute SQL task ( this calls a stored proc which does some filtering the imported data into other tables ).
point 2 is giving problems.
Point 2 will only work when i change my computers regional settings to English. If i have my settings set to Dutch, it won;t work. Even specifying the english localeID's seem to have no effect.
The problem is a decimal field in the database, and the difference in decimal separator. When i set my regional settings to English the values in the excel are notated like 74.54 which works. And when i have the dutch regional settings the same value in excel is displayed like 74,54. I haven't got a clue how to solve this.
Is there a way to tell the SSIS to not use the regional settings, but use the settings specified in the config file ? And if this is possible how can i check if the correct settings are used ?
I tried Data Mining Add-Ins for Office 2007 - CTP December 2006. Test settings: Windows XP SP2 english with Italian regional settings, Office 2007 english (RTM), SQL Server 2005 Developer (with SP2 CTP Dec06) and Data Mining Add-ins for Office 2007 (CTP Dec06).
If I keep regional settings in Italian, I get error like this:
Old format or invalid type library. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD))
If I change regional settings to English, the Add-in works.
I found this description as the possible cause of the problem: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178780(vs.80).aspx - if this is the issue, it would be necessary to change the ExcelLocale1033Attribute on the component.
Is there another workaround other than to install the Office 2007 MUI?

I have a SQL Task that calls a stored procedure and returns an output parameter. The task fails with error "Value does not fall within the expected range." The Stored Procedure is defined as follows: Create Procedure [dbo].[TestOutputParms] @InParm INT , @OutParm INT OUTPUT as Set @OutParm = @InParm + 5 The task uses an OLEDB connection and has a source type of Direct Input. The SQL Statement is Exec TestOutputParms 7, ? output The parameter mapping is: Variable Name Direction Data Type Parameter Name User::OutParm Output LONG @OutParm
Hi We have a bunch of servers running server 2000 & 2003 along with many sql server (versions 2000 & 2005) databases in a production environment pulling transactions then doing warehousing & reporting.
An audit has shown up 1 production server using English_US 'mmddyyyy' system date formats, all others being English_Australian 'ddmmyyyy'.
Is it safe to simply change the regional settings on this English_US server to English_Australian or will it mess up the data in our SQL 2005 databases? I've not been able to get a definitive answer from anyone yet!
I am designing an SSIS package and need to change the value of a DateTime global variable with the value returned from an Execute SQL task. The queary is as follows:
Select Versiondate = dateadd(dd,+1,Max(CreateDate)) from msdb..sysdtspackages p with(nolock) where name = '@name'
The error message is as follows:
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F210 at VersionDate_Set, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "Select Versiondate = dateadd(dd,+1,Max(CreateDate)) from msdb..sysdtspackages p with(nolock)
where name = '@name'" failed with the following error: "The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::VersionDate" 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.
Task failed: VersionDate_Set
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" finished: Success.
The variable is set to data type DateTime, but the value will not change. Any ideas?
I am trying to create an Execute SQL task that sets a variable.
This is my SQL
DECLARE @Period AS DATETIME
SET @Period =Parameter0 + '/01/' + Parameter1 SET @Period = DATEADD(m, -1, @Period)
SELECT DATEADD(s, -1, @Period)
This statement parses okay.
I mapped two variables called "User::PeriodMonth" and "User::PeriodYear" in the Parameter Mapping tab to the parameters.
In the Result Set tabl I have mapped a variable "User::PeriodStartDate" to Result Name "PeriodStartDate".
The error I get is the following:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "DECLARE @Period AS DATETIME SET @Period =Parameter0 + '/01/' + Parameter1 SET @Period = DATEADD(m, -1, @Period) SELECT DATEADD(s, -1, @Period) " failed with the following error: "Parameter name is unrecognized.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
The Online Books are not helpful. They just say you have to bind the parameters to the application variables.
What am I doing wrong?
I want to set another variable called "PeriodEndDate" also. Can both variables be set in the same task?
(1) I know how to use the ? ? ? and 0, 1, 2 notation in Parameter Mapping within Execute SQL Task. However, the interface allows me to give descriptive names to my parameters (other than the ordinals 0, 1, 2, ...). To be more clear, if you go into Parameter Mapping and click in Parameter Name column, you are not just restricted to typing in 0, 1, 2, ... You can type anything you want for the name. Does this suggest that I can use other things besides a "?" in my SQL command?
(2) What is Parameter Size? Is this like a data type? If so, why am I allowed to type in anything I want in there?
I am trying to assign the same package variable value to three different parameters in a query. The variable contains the name of a database which the user will input during package execution. First I check to see if the database exists (if it does I drop it), then in either case I create the database. See code:
if exists
(
select name
from sys.databases
where name = ?
)
begin
drop database ?;
end;
go
create database ?;
go
This is the error I am getting:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "if exists ( select name from sys.databases where name = ? ) begin drop database ?; end; " failed with the following error: "Syntax error, permission violation, or other nonspecific error". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
My "User::DestinationDatabase" variable is mapped to 0,1,2 using an OLE DB connection. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Is it not possible to have table name as a parameter? For example have the SQL something like:
Delete From ? Where ID = ?
.. I get error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "Delete From ? Where ID = ?" failed with the following error: "Must declare the table variable "@P1".". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I have a Script task which generates a GUID and stores it in the variable @[User::AttachmentListId], which is of type System.Object since Guid wasn't an option. Following this is an Execute SQL task (with an OLE DB connection to an SQL Server 2000 database) whose SQL statement is
EXEC AddAttachmentListItem ?, ?, 0
My parameter mapping looks like this (variable name, direction, data type, parameter name, parameter size):
@[User::AttachmentListId], Input, GUID, 0, -1
@[User::AFilePath], Input, VARCHAR, 1, 260
When I execute my package I get the following error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "EXEC AddAttachmentListItem ?, ?, 0" failed with the following error: "The type is not supported.DBTYPE_GUID". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
This worked earlier when the first parameter was an int and not a uniqueidentifier, but I reworked my design because the GUID was a better choice for what I was doing. Well, at least 'til I got to this point....
In temp table there rae data which start with 1 and 2.I want to select only those record which start with 1 Zone is a parameter to the Execute sql task in ssis package..I have created sample code to test when I am running my query I am not getting anything
create table #temp ( zoneid bigint ) insert into #temp values(100000000000000000) insert into #temp values(100000000000000000) insert into #temp values(100000000000000000) insert into #temp values(100000000000000000) insert into #temp values(200000000000000000) insert into #temp values(200000000000000000)
I have a SSIS Execute SQL Task that calls a stored procedure with a date parameter. The text of the stored procedure is an "INSERT INTO .. SELECT ..." statement. When I run the text in Query Analyzer, it completes successfully. When I call the Stored Procedure, it executes but does not insert the data. Setting ByPass Prepare to True does not affect the outcome. I also used the query directly in the SQL task itself to no avail. Executing the query in Query Analyzer works. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
As part of the logging process for data input, I want to update two fields in a logging table. The first is a datetime, derived from looking up the maximum value in another table (the table I've just imported), and the second is an integer - the number of rows captured in a variable during the task.
I can do this in two separate Execute SQL tasks as follows:
Task 1 syntax
DECLARE @maxDate datetime SELECT @maxDate = max(dtLastChangedDate) FROM dbo.tblCancel_RAW
UPDATE dbo.tblLogging SET PreviousFilterValue = CurrentFilterValue, CurrentFilterValue = ISNULL(CAST ( @maxdate as varchar(25)),CurrentFilterValue), DateSourceTableLastRead = GetDate(), RowsReturned= -1 WHERE SourceTableName = 'cancel'
Task 2 Syntax, with the variable user::rowsimported mapped to parameter 0
UPDATE dbo.tblLogging SET RowsReturned= ? WHERE SourceTableName = 'cancel'
However I cannot make this work with a single SQL statement such as
DECLARE @maxDate datetime SELECT @maxDate = max(dtLastChangedDate) FROM dbo.tblCancel_RAW
UPDATE dbo.tblLogging SET PreviousFilterValue = CurrentFilterValue, CurrentFilterValue = ISNULL(CAST ( @maxdate as varchar(25)),CurrentFilterValue), DateSourceTableLastRead = GetDate(), RowsReturned= ? WHERE SourceTableName = 'cancel'
because no matter how I try to map the parameter (0,1,2,3,4 etc) the task fails.
Is this behaviour by design, is it a bug, or is there something I've missed?
Hi, this might be a simple one, but I have been stuck on it for days. I am just getting into SSIS and have been muddling through it for the rest of this package but I am stuck on this. I am using this SQL Execute Task to run some lookup queries and then call the sp_send_dbmail stored procedure. I have this placed in a For Each loop container. I am using a SELECT DISTINCT Branch FROM table1 into an Object parameter, and passing that into the loop container. I am then using a Input Parameter into this SQL Execute Task of type String. I have run a Script task right before this step to ensure that the variable is populated and correct. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Here is the SQL Execute Task :
DECLARE @SQL varchar(2400), @emaillist varchar(200), @branchMgrEmail varchar(100), @officeMgrEmail varchar(100), @branchMgrEmpNo varchar(5), @officeMgrEmpNo varchar(5), @subjectline varchar (100), @Today varchar(10), @BranchNumber varchar(2) SET @BranchNumber = ? SET @Today = convert(char(8),getdate(),1) SET @SQL = 'SELECT rtrim(CONVERT(char(10), PostedDate, 101)) AS Posted_Date, CAST(Branch AS CHAR(2)) AS Branch, CAST(Department AS CHAR(2)) AS Department, CAST(InvoiceNumber AS CHAR(7)) AS Invoice_Number FROM onbase.dbo.MHC_IncompleteRepairOrders WHERE Branch = ' + @BranchNumber + 'AND HardCardCount = 0 AND WorkAuthCount = 0 AND QualityControlCount = 0 AND MiscDocsCount = 0' SET @subjectline = @Today + ' - Repair Order Validation Notification for Branch #' + @BranchNumber SET @branchMgrEmpNo = (SELECT branchempno FROM onbase.dbo.BranchMaster WHERE Branch = @BranchNumber) SET @officeMgrEmpNo = (SELECT officeempno FROM onbase.dbo.BranchMaster WHERE Branch = @BranchNumber) SET @branchMgrEmail = (SELECT empemailaddress FROM onbase.dbo.ActiveDirectory WHERE CAST(empno AS integer) = @branchMgrEmpNo) SET @officeMgrEmail = (SELECT empemailaddress FROM onbase.dbo.ActiveDirectory WHERE CAST(empno AS integer) = @officeMgrEmpNo) SET @emaillist = @branchMgrEmail + '; ' + @officeMgrEmail BEGIN EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @recipients = 'email@email.com', --@recipients = @emaillist, --@copy_recipients = 'email@email, @attach_query_result_as_file = 0, @subject = @subjectline, @body = 'This email contains a list of Stuff
This is a copy of the ERROR message that I am receiving. Any suggestions?

I have a execute sql task to create and drop logins. I want to create/drop the ASPNET login, but I need to pass the domain using a parameter. So I mapped a parameter:
Variable name: User::serverName
Direction: Input
DataType: Varchar
Parameter Name:0
and the sql is the following:
CREATE LOGIN [?ASPNET] FROM WINDOWS
But I get the error:
Executing the query "CREATE LOGIN [?ASPNET] FROM WINDOWS failed with the following error: "Windows NT user or group '?ASPNET' not found. Check the name again.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I'm trying to do something that should be fairly straightforward, but SSIS seems to be getting confused. I have a stored procedure which takes a timestamp as an input parameter. (NOTE: It's not a DateTime that's being stored as a DBTIMESTAMP, it really is a timestamp in the SQL sense.)
The command should be something like this:
Code Block
EXEC dbo.UpdateSynchTimestamp ? I tried to use my variable to pass the value through Parameter Mapping, but I got an unusual error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "EXEC dbo.UpdateSynchTimestamp ?" failed with the following error: "An error occurred while extracting the result into a variable of type (DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP)". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
This is strange for a number of reasons:
1) The DBTIMESTAMP parameter has the Direction set to "Input", so it should not be interpreted as an Output or ReturnValue. 2) The Execute SQL Task has Result Set = "None", so it should not be trying to return anything.
If I change the code to include a value hard-coded it works:
Code Block
EXEC dbo.UpdateSynchTimestamp 0x00000000000013BD It is only when a variable is involved that it breaks.
Finally, here's the Stored Procedure itself:
Code Block
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[UpdateSynchTimestamp] @NewValue TIMESTAMP AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON;
UPDATE ServerSettings SET [Value] = @NewValue WHERE [Key] = 'SynchTimestamp' END Doe anyone have any suggestions as to why this isn't working for me? For the time being, I have a Script Task which constructs the command text and stores it in a variable. I can't even use an Expression because the DBTIMESTAMP is not supported.
Hello! I would like to write a value from a column to a parameter in SSIS with the Execute SQL task. The problem is that I will never get a value for the parameter.
You can recreate the problem with the AdventureWorksDW sample database.
1. Drop an execute SQL task in the control flow
2. Set the connection to the AdventureWorksDw database
3. Write this in the SQL Statement box Select Max(FullDateAlterNateKey) as LastDate
From DimTime 4. Set the resultset to single Row 5. Under result set assign LastDate as the Result Name and create a parameter with a default date. 6. Execute the task, that will finish succesfully but the value of the parameter in 5 have not changed.
I have tried to change the scope to both the package level and the task level without any success. The value of the variable is still the default value. I have also tried a string variable without sucess.
Hi, I am trying to use an integer as input parameter for my task I get suck on the parameter data type.
The input parameter is define as @Control_ID variable as Int32 in SSIS. When I got into the parameter mapping of Execute SQL Task, I don't find the Int32 data type. I used to try Short, Numeric, Decimal and so on, but all of those data type didn't work. and it returns the following error message:
SSIS package "DCLoading.dtsx" starting. Error: 0xC002F210 at Update Control_ID, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "use DCAStaging

I'm having a heckuva time with creating output parameters based on a query.
Here's what I'm doing. Every day, we copy rows from our mysql table to our sql server table. We only want to copy those rows that are new, so as to not have to recopy the entire table.
So I have a DataReader Source set to Ado.net/odbc provider that connects to the mysql db. The destination is an OLE connection to the local sql server.
I create an Execute SQL Task. The connection is set to the OLE connection The type is direct input The SQL Statement is "select max(id) from copy_table"
In Parameter Mapping, I create a user variable called maxId that is an int64. That variable is now used as the Variable Name. The Direction is Output. The Parameter Name is 0.
Whatever data type I use for the mapping does not work with the variable type. If the parameter was set to ULARGE_INTEGER, here's the error [Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "SELECT MAX(stats_id) AS max_id FROM copy_table" failed with the following error: "Type name is invalid.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
If parameter is set to LONG: [Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "maxId": "The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::maxId" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object. ".
I found that if variable and parameter were dates to use datetime for the variable and DBTIMESTAMP for the parameter.
There are an awful lot of combinations between all the possible variable types, and the possible parameter types. Does anyone know the secret combination for your typical integer?
Variable Name : User::IntValue Direction: ReturnValue Data Type: Long ParameterName: 0
I am getting the following error, when I run this package.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "EXEC ? = [dbo].[SetSLATimePriority]" failed with the following error: "Invalid parameter number". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I am not able to figure out, where exactly the problem is.. Can some one please help me out?
This works great it iterates through a file and looks at all the files checks to see if they have been loaded into the db table, if not it loads the file.
My spGetFile has RETURN 1 if a file is loaded and RETURN 0 if the file is not loaded.
Now I add a new variable:
Step 1: add to Foreach Loop Container
ForEach Loop Container Name = Return, Scope = ForEachLoop, Data Type= Int32 Value=0
~~"Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.~~
I tried with an ADO.Net connection ... works until I add the ReturnValue parameter ...
I've encountered a new problem with an SSIS Pkg where I have a seq. of Execute SQL tasks. My question are:
1) In the First Execute SQL Task, I want to store a single row result of @@identity type into a User Variable User::LoadID of What type. ( I tried using DBNull Type or Object type which works, not with any other type, it but I can't proceed to step 2 )
2) Now I want to use this User::LoadID as input parameter of What type for the next task (I tried using Numeric, Long, DB_Numeric, Decimal, Double none of there work).
OK. I give up and need help. Hopefully it's something minor ...
I have a dataflow which returns email addresses to a recordset.
I pass this recordset into a ForEachLoop configuring the enumerator as (Foreach ADO Enumerator). I also map the email address as a variable with index 0.
I then have a Execute SQL task which receives this email address as a varchar variable (parameter 0) which I then use in my SQL command to limit the rows returned. I have commented out the where clause and returned all rows regardless of email address to try to troubleshoot this problem. In either event, I then use a resultset to store the query result of type object and result name 0.
I then pass this resultset into a script variable to start parsing the sql rows returned as type object. ( I assume this is the correct way to do this from other prior posts ...).
The script appears to throw an exception at the following line. I assume it's because I'm either not passing in the values properly or the query doesn't return anything. However, I am certain the query works as it executes just fine at the command prompt.
My intent is to email the query results to each email address with the following type of data by passing the parsed data from the script to a send mail task. Email works fine and sends out messages but the content is empty. I pass the parsed data as string values to the messagesource and define the messagesourcetype as a variable in the mail task.
part number leadtime
x 5
y 9
....
Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
i am encountering a pretty weird problem on our SQL database stored procs, particularly those concerning datetime functions. we have two setups, one is on london, and another one is here in singapore. both servers have the same regional settings, the same database tables, stored procs and functions, almost the same in every aspect. the only difference we know is that one is a direct database cut (sql 7.0), while the other used database migration in win2k.
here goes: all stored proc functions work just fine on the singapore setup. the london setup however, is not working at all! it does all the functions like change flags and status, but it doesn't update dates nor search for data by date. i have also checked on the collision names, and they are the same. where else could i start searching for discrepancies between the two?
hope to hear something from you guys, i'm getting desperate. thanks in advance!
I had got the below error when I execute a DELETE SQL query in SSIS Execute SQL Task :
Error: 0xC002F210 at DelAFKO, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "DELETE FROM [CQMS_SAP].[dbo].[AFKO]" failed with the following error: "The transaction log for database 'CQMS_SAP' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
But my disk has large as more than 6 GB space, and I query the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases which return value as "NOTHING".
So this confused me, any one has any experience on this?
I'm looking for a way to refer to a package variable within any Transact-SQL code included in either an Execute SQL or Execute T-SQL task. If this can be done, I need to know the technique to use - whether it's something similar to a parameter placeholder question mark or something else.
FYI - I've been able to successfully execute Transact-SQL statements within the Execute SQL task, so I don't think the Execute T-SQL task is even necessary for this purpose.
I'm using SSIS in Visual Studio 2012. My Execute SQL Task calls a Stored Procedure where I have a TRY-CATCH. Last week there was a problem and the CATCH was executed and logged an error to my error table, but for some reason the Execute SQL Task didn't fail. Is there a setting to make the Execute SQL Task fail when an SP encounters a failure?
