I am looking to create an SSIS package to import text files into an SQL table. I'd like to import the 'date modified' attribute from the text file into one of the columns as well as the data within the text file.
I'm thinking an ActiveX task and variable currently, just wondered if anyone had any other thoughts on how this could be achieved.
Thanks
I have a database that is actively being used and updated. When I look at the last modified date of the mdf file, it shows as a couple of weeks ago date and the transaction log file .ldf file shows a couple of days ago. wonder if the database is constantly updated and changed, should it show the currently date instead.
Also, the attribte of mdf file show A as archive. what does it mean?
Thanks
Hi,
the ssis package loops through a folder using a foreach loop container and imports the data inside each .csv file into the database.
Now I would like to add the functionality to first check the modified date of the .csv file. If it is NOT today's date then the package should fail or go to error.
Any thoughts how to do this please?
Thanks

Hello all,
I was just thinking about a situation which I have been tasked with in that I have a package that is scheduled to run once a day which will import data from a flat file. The data does not have any distinguishing time that can be used to see whether or not it is beyond a last imported time.
I was wondering, is there a way to access the date modified of the file? If so I could simply append this time to a table which keeps track of all of the files and the modified dates which I have ever imported for this task.
Why is it that, even though the database is modified daily, the modified date on the data file is not updated?
Thanks.
basically what we need is a query that will allow me to provide a directory and a variable for number of days for instance 1 day old and I want to be able to able to delete all files older than that date and of course I want to be able exclude files of a particular type where I would give it a wild card statement for example say i wanted to save all csv files i would have the wild card say <> '%.csv'

Does anyone know how to get a table's 'last modified date' in SQL 7 ?
Sysobjects contains the 'create date', but I can't find a 'last modified date' anywhere......
How to get the date a view was last modified? (As opposed to created)

Hi
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm an Oracle DBA and just getting used to MS Sqlserver. I noticed that the windows explorer "date modified" field for my database files ( .MDF files ) doesn't change much even though there is activity going on. Sometimes it doesn't change for a week.
Is this the expected behavior? Could it be that no data is changing in my database? ( I find that hard to believe)
Thanks for any insights.
In SQL Server is there a way to know when a procedure was lastmodified? I only see the "Create Date" column on the EnterpriseManager.Thanks Experts!

Hi,
I am using SQL Server 2000 and have the following questions:
1. How do I know the last updated (data) date using system objects or any other method?
2. How do I know the last modified date of a table using system objects or any other method?
3. How do I know when a table is last accessed
Any help is appreciated
Thanks for your time and help in advance

If your tables contain created and modified/updated dates what is the best practice for these?
1. Should you use UTC dates?
2. Do you use a default for the creation date (I assume yes)?
3. Should you create a trigger to handle the last update date? Or do you update the column directly in your stored procedures that modify data?
Also, as an aside if you store the user who created/updated the record do you store a foreign key reference to the user table or do you store the username as a varchar? Of course I know you'd normally store the fk, but I wasn't sure if the "logging" nature of the column suggests storing a string value.

Hello,
I am using SQL Server 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0. We have a very simple content management system where we have to keep track of date last modified for each row in all of our content tables. I know there's a "timestamp" datatype that is used for replication scenarios, but is there anything similar that I can use to set up a date_modified column for each of my content tables that will automatically update with GETDATE() whenever anything in a given row is updated?
Or do I have to create a date_modified column of smalldatetime datatype and write a trigger on update for EVERY single table of content that I have in the database? It seems there should be an easier way to do this than to write 20 triggers for my 20 content tables.
Thanks!

hi everyone..!!
how can I turn an attribute date of type numeric of a table and pass it to another table (using SSIS) as datetime
Script to find the details of creation date and modified date of all files located in a path?
I wanna write few custom messages before I delete some files from a path.
I have managed to capture the file path through some SSIS tasks. Now I am looking to read get the File Name present for a file in this path. How can I possibly do this? Do I have to use the script task and write something up in VB.NET? Hope there is an easier way out. I have been trying to figure out the File SYstem task. But that seems really complicated as well. Please let me know. This is an emergency for a special DEMO. Thank you!!!

HI,
I had to change the key columns of a dimension attribute to fix an error. I did this in BIDS. The change was from a single key column to a composite key column. Now I am getting these error when I process the cube:
Measure group attribute key column x does not match source attribute ..
I looked at the cube XMLA definition under mesaure groups and it still shows a single key column with inherited binding. However, the BIDS does not give me an option correct this in any way. I have had to do this once before and the only option seems to be removing the dimension from the cube and add it back in. But that is very error prone since I lose any specific settings at the cube dimension level not to mention aggregations no longer include the dimension, etc.
Not seeing an alternative, I went through each measure group (I have 7) and changed the key columns manually in the XMLA and saved the cube. This worked, but I don't understand why BIDS automatically doesn't do it.
Is this a flaw in the BIDS or I should be missing something.
thanks

what the meaning of the TextQualified attribute on a flat file connection is? I am importing delimited flat files where text columns are not qualified by quotes. If I use the Suggest Types button in the Flat File Connection Manager Editor, it sets TextQualified to True for all columns. Importing works fine than, but it also does with TextQualified = False.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
Basically the above is a very common requirement, please comment on my solution which I've arrived at by searching through the web; -
In summary I have used 3 SSIS components these are "Flat File Source", "Derived Column" and "SQL Server Destination".
1) File Connections Manager Editor
1.1) Within File Connections Manager Editor; -
Name the data type e.g. "INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC"
and assign a type to the data type e.g. string[DT_STR]
1.2) Click on the Preview button to ensure the expected text is assigned to the expected data type.
2) Derived Column Transformation Editor
2.1) Assign Derived Column Name, e.g.
INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE
2.2) Select <add as new column> within Derived Column.
2.3) Enter the conversion Expression, e.g. ; -
2.3.1)
(SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,8,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,5,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,1,4))
2.3.2)
Since the above conversion is such a common task I suggest that Service Pack 3 of SQL Server 2005 delivers the following functionality; -
STRINGTODATE ('YYYYMMDD',INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC)
2.4) Select "database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP] " as Data Type.
2.5) Within the Mappings tab of the SQL Destination Editor have; -
Input Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE and
Destination Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE.
Please comment on the above, I will then pass on my suggestion to Microsoft.
Thanks in advance,
Kieran.
I asked this question below, but the answer was that the conversion will take place automatically, but I can't get that to happen. I have a flat file with an 8 position field that I identify as string (and I also tried date) that is yyyymmdd and it needs to go into the database field that is datetime format. IS there something I am doing wrong with the definition of it, or do I need to add some kind of conversion, and if so, what and how would that be done. I'm a dts Sql2000 expert, but the SSIS thing is driving me crazy. I have a ton of dts' to convert and the migration tool doesn't work because there are a lot of active X scripts in them. thanks for your help. Boston Rose
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a ssis package where I need to have excel destination. In the Excel file, I need to have few rows with some text and then populate data below the text. One the text is like this:
Data as of: 08/25/2015
if the report ran today, then Data as of will have Yesterday. So, if the user opens that excel file after a week, then user should see same Data as of: 08/25/2015. not today()-day(1).
I was planing to handle on excel side with today()-day(1). but it only works the day it was run. Then the excel file is open after few days later, then it might as Data as of: 08/30/2015 which is not true. It should still stay Data as of:
08/25/2015 on what ever date the excel file is open. The SSIS package runs only once.
How do I handle this so that whenever user open the file, they will see Data as of: 08/25/2015. This is not a column in excel. It is like a description of data in excel.
The Sql Server database can only see the local drive.
I would like to set up a batch file that will copy a SQL Server
backup file from the local drive to the network drive. I would
like to append the file date to the end of the copied file. I
assume a batch file can accomplish this but I am new to batch
file writing. Does anyone have code that they already created
for this sort of task??
Thank you!
