I have a table t1 and t2 with following structure.
t1(
ID1 int IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
name1 varchar(20),
addr1 varchar(20)
)
t2(
ID2 int IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
name2 varchar(20),
addr2 varchar(20)
)
Objective here is to match name1 and name2 column using fuzzy look up. So, I used t1 as source table and t2 as reference/lookup table and mapped name1 and name2 column in Fuzzy look up editor. As output column I selected "ID2" column from t2.
Now when i run the package, it throws error
"Multiple identity columns specified for table '##FLRef_070522_14:16:39_5064_c1c6cbbd-5a54-4e36-9154-1371118f0931'. Only one identity column per table is allowed."
I suppose that during Fuzzy lookup, SSIS internally created temporary table and thats where this error occurs when adding two columns as identity. Can someone help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks
Sid
PS: I need ID2 column as output for further calculation.
I'm developing an ETL solution that needs to look for duplicate records using a fuzzy lookup. If the lookup table has an identity column, I get the following error. I can get this to work on a local desktop instance of SQL server, but not on my development server or production box. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Also I've stripped down the incoming data for the lookup to a very simplified version of what I'd like to use, but if I can't get it to work then I can't add addtional columns to match with.
It's like it's trying to add it's own Id to the temp table created for the tokens

I'm working with an existing package that uses the fuzzy lookup transform. The package is currently working; however, I need to add some columns to the lookup columns from the reference table that is being used.
It seems that I am hitting a memory threshold of some sort, as when I add 3 or 4 columns, the package works, but when I add 5 columns, the fuzzy lookup transform fails pre-execute:

These errors occur regardless of what columns I am attempting to add to the lookup list.
I have tried setting the MaxMemoryUsage custom property of the transform to 0, and to explicit values that should be much more than enough to hold the fuzzy match index (the reference table is only about 3000 rows, and the entire table is stored in less than 2MB of disk space.
I am trying to run a SSIS package that contains a fuzzy lookup. I am using a flat file with about 7 million records as the input. The reference table has about 2000 records. The package fails after about 40,000 records with the following information:

When I Change the TransactionProperty to €œSupported€? it works fine. I need the property set to Required for it does an undo in the event of a failure. Any ideas on how to get the Fuzzy Lookup to work
I have a Fuzzy Lookup in a Data Flow Task that is performing a simple text match based on a data view in SQL Server.
I keep obtaining the error below and I have no idea why. Is there a minimum number of rows required in the view in order for the lookup to work properly?
When I take the Store/Manage Index options off the lookup seems to work properly.
Thank you!

We did some "at scale" fuzzy lookup tests today and were rather disappointed with the performance. I'm wanting to know your experience so I can set my performance expectations appropriately.
We were doing a fuzzy lookup against a lookup table with 25 million rows. Each row has 11 columns used in the fuzzy lookup, each between 10-100 chars. We set CopyReferenceTable=0 and MatchIndexOptions=GenerateAndPersistNewIndex and WarmCaches=true. It took about 60 minutes to build that index table, during which, dtexec got up to 4.5GB memory usage. (Is there a way to tell what % of the index table got cached in memory? Memory kept rising as each "Finished building X% of fuzzy index" progress event scrolled by all the way up to 100% progress when it peaked at 4.5GB.) The MaxMemoryUsage setting we left blank so it would use as much as possible on this 64-bit box with 16GB of memory (but only about 4GB was available for SSIS).
After it got done building the index table, it started flowing data through the pipeline. We saw the first buffer of ~9,000 rows get passed from the source to the fuzzy lookup transform. Six hours later it had not finished doing the fuzzy lookup on that first buffer!!! Running profiler showed us it was firing off lots of singelton SQL queries doing lookups as expected. So it was making progress, just very, very slowly.
We had set MinSimilarity=0.45 and Exhaustive=False. Those seemed to be reasonable settings for smaller datasets.
Does that performance seem inline with expectations? Any thoughts to improve performance?
I am trying to interpret some of the results I observe when trying to match similar records using a fuzzy lookup transform, but it's not entirely clear how the overall row similarity score is calculated. In particular, sometimes rows with lower individual column similarity scores will achieve a higher similarity and confidence score than a matching row with higher individual column scores.
The transform is configured with 6 text fields set to fuzzy mapping and a minimum similarity of 0, and 3 additional numeric fields with an exact mapping. It is set to return a maximum of 2 matches per lookup and to do an exhaustive search of the reference table.
For example, from the following matching pair of records Match 1 is picked over Match 2 even though it's individual scores are lower.
I am using a fuzzy lookup to cleanse data from a sales line details table, during the import process. The sales order line details contains a filed called 'reference' and this is compared to a field called 'category' in another table. Using data viewers to check through the cleansing process, I notice that the fuzzy lookup doesn't seem to match i.e. tbl.salesline.reference = 'I3' -> tbl.sales.category ='I03' the above is OK, but the lookup also returns the following tbl.salesline.reference = 'I9' -> tbl.sales.category ='I01' The value I9 doesnt exist, and is miskeyed by user entry, and should have been 'I99'. I would have expected the fuzzy lookup to pickup the I99 value as at least two of the chrs are matching, but no, it picks the first 'I*' in the table. If I expand the fuzzy lookup to return more results, i.e. 5 per record, then it returns the first 5 results....I01, I02 I03 and so on. Is there a way of improving the fuzzy lookup itself?
The enterprise edition of SQL server includes some advanced BI features, for example the fuzzy lookup feature of IS. If the IS package lives on an enterprise edition of SQL server and the database the package it is targeting lives on a standard edition of SQL server can the advanced features be used? Can you run a fuzzy look against a database on a standard edition of SQL server when th IS package lives on an enterprise edition of SQL server? THANKS!
Im doing a fuzzy lookup based on 3 fields (Surname/DOB/Gender). The only difference between the two sets of data is the case of the first letter of the Surname.
Reference table has "Stuart" Lookup has "stuart", I have set Fuzzy Lookup Input for Surname to Ignore Case but still it won't match.
Fuzzy lookup seems to be causing some problems to me. It seems to work at times and doesn't at other times. It would work a couple of times fine and give me the desired results but then without changing anything in the dataflow or the data the next few times it would not run at all and fail the pre-execute of the.

Is it possbile to have multiple fuzzy lookup within a data flow?
I need to have at least 3 fuzzy lookup in a data flow. Here're the conditions that I try to find match: 1=Zip&City, 2=Zip&State, 3=City&State. I've the first fuzzy lookup working fine. After that, I've a conditional split to get any unmatch, then use another fuzzy lookup for a second condition...at this point, I get the error saying "The package contains two objects with duplicate name of output column _Similarity..." I do not need to get the _Similarity and _Confidence, so is there a way to exclude them from returning in the output?
Ive just started looking at the Fuzzy Lookup feature and i think i must be getting something fundamentally wrong. I have two tables - each contain different meta data representations for a set of potentially similar documents. The only chance i have of matching a document in table A to a document in table B is a common title field. However, manual input means that the titles may differ in both tables although they are potentially quite similar in most cases.
In the lookup i get to specify the output columns from table B (Reference) which is fine, but i don't seem to get to choose the columns from table A that i would also like to see. So my output shows me all the documents from table B that it thinks are similar to ones in table A...but not identifying which record it's similar to.
I initially thought that the "pass through" columns that i identified would appear in the output - but this does not seem to be the case.
I must be using it incorrectly, but i have no idea how to progress with this apart from creating a new source table (C) which is a full outer join of table A and B - and then also using table C as the reference table, but that seems madness.
I've been doing some research and running some PoCs on using the Fuzzy Lookup Transformation (FLT) and had two questions:
1) When you choose to have a maximum of 1 output returned for each input, does FLT pick this output based on the best (highest) similarity and confidence scores or the first one it finds?
2) Why does FLT not support dynamically setting properties such as ReferenceTableName or MatchIndexName?
Any help or guidance with this is greatly appreciated.
I created a fuzzy transformation with an input table and a reference table. When I go to the Columns tab, there are no available input or lookup columns displayed. But if I select a different reference table, sometimes it works.
Are there any specific properties a reference table must have in order for columns to show up?
What is the difference between ‘Fuzzy Lookup Transformations ‘ and ‘Lookup Transformations in ssis .any real time senario for better understanding
Sorry, this might be an obvious question, but I can not find anything in the documentation/forum.
I want to use a Fuzzy Lookup between 2 Oracle tables.
I select the Reference Table.
I then switch to the Columns tab, but the "Available Input Columns" and "Available Lookup Columns" lists are always empty.
I have experimented quite a bit, but to no avail. I noticed this on the Reference Table tabpage : "The table maintenance feature requires the installation of a trigger on the reference table". My guess would be that SSIS does not support Oracle for this, but I am not able to find anything in the documentation that it doesn't.
I have come across something on Fuzzy Lookup and dont know am I doing something wrong or is that the behaviour we are expected to get from Fuzzy Lookup.
I have a Test table as shown below with couple of sample rows.
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[Test]') AND type in (N'U'))
DROP TABLE [dbo].[Test]
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Test](
[Code] [varchar](4) NOT NULL,
[Name] [varchar](50) NULL,
[Server] [varchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
INSERT INTO [Test] ([Code],[Name],[Server])VALUES('PQR','CONTROL GEAR (GROUP) LTD','ELPS122')
GO
INSERT INTO [Test] ([Code],[Name],[Server])VALUES('PQR','CONTROL GEAR (GROUP)','ELPS122')
GO
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.views WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[vwTest]'))
DROP VIEW [dbo].[vwTest]
GO
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[vwTest]
AS
SELECT Code, [Name]
FROM Test
GO
OLE DB Data Source - I read the data from Test Table.
Fuzzy Lookup - vwTest is used as Reference Table Name. Joined by Code & Name. Maximum No of matches to output per lookup is set to 5.
Row Count - Data Viewer between Fuzzy Lookup and RowCount The results as shown below: Name Name (1) _Similarity_Name CONTROL GEAR (GROUP) LTD CONTROL GEAR (GROUP) LTD 1 CONTROL GEAR (GROUP) LTD CONTROL GEAR (GROUP) 0.6 CONTROL GEAR (GROUP) CONTROL GEAR (GROUP) 1 CONTROL GEAR (GROUP) CONTROL GEAR (GROUP) LTD 0.8
The result produced by Fuzzy Lookup has shown above.
My question is are we expected to get same similarity value or not. It doesnt produce same similarity value during my testing.
I was expecting same similarity score if I do the following two statements. Is "CONTROL GEAR (GROUP) LTD" same as "CONTROL GEAR (GROUP)" Is "CONTROL GEAR (GROUP)" same as "CONTROL GEAR (GROUP) LTD"
I think I know the answer, but I would like to know why though?
I am using Fuzzy Lookup in my transformation. I wanted to know if there is a way to use variables for the MinSimilarity property in the Advanced Editor tab. Instead of giving a hardcoded value between 0 to 1, I want to take the value from a variable and use it. Is this possible in SSIS.
I have a SSIS package where a small table of 270 rows are fuzzy looked up with a table in another sql server and inserts the records to a temporary table. This takes more than 3 hours in debug mode or so and never goes beyond this step.I have used a OLE DB destination to insert to temporary table and temporary table doesn't get a value.
I need some advice on fuzzy lookup / grouping design. I have a requirement that, I think, is between lookup and grouping transformations.
In one of our applications, users can enter manually a label for some information in the database. Every month, I will store all the new data in our OLAP DB, and I want to group these labels with a fuzzy logic. Historical data (already loaded) have to be grouped, as well as new data coming every month.
I have no predefined canonical data, so Fuzzy Lookup seems not adapted to my pb. Fuzzy Grouping seems ok, but it would require to put historical data as well as new data as an input of the Fuzzy Grouping Transfo to constitute groups. This seems not efficient to me.
I have a fuzzy lookup task that compares a source list of contacts to a reference list of contacts with the default settings. I did some testing by adding seed data that I knew would produce somewhat high similarity hits. All of the seeded contacts but one came back with the expected high sim values. When I looked for the one that didn't, I noticed another match had come up but it had a very low similarity of .17. I then did some research and discovered the reason was the MaxOutputMatchesPerInput setting which was set to 1. I then set it to 3 and reran the package and sure enough my seeded contact that was missing before now showed up. I thought the best match would show up if the MaxOutputMatches was set to 1? That is not the case in my testing.
For example, Donna Mizeman was in the reference list. I added Don Miseman to the source list to seed it. The only match that came back was something like Dieman Abdul .... So the initial match had a similarity of .17 but when MaxOutputMatchesPerInput is set to 3 the best match (seeded) has a similarity of .72.
Can anybody tell me when the index table is created? I have a Ole DB Command transformation that deletes rows from a table, and the pipeline continues on to a fuzzy lookup. The fuzzy lookup is returning matches to some of the rows which were delted in the aformentioned Ole DB Command. If the index table is created during pre-execute, this would make some sense to me since those rows which get deleted still exist before the pipeline reaches the Ole DB Command transformation which deletes those rows. If this is the case, is there a way to delay the index table creation? If this is not the case, has anybody else ran into anything like this...is there some solution? Thanks for any help.
I am trying to create a package that reads an input file or input table, does a fuzzy lookup, and outputs results to another table. I was wondering if this can be done programmatically? I have tried adding the fuzzy lookup component like this:
I wondering how I can change the properties, such as what the input column is, reference table, lookup column, etc? I am not even sure if this can be done; if it can, I'd like some guidance on what the properties I would need to change are.
Greetings My Fuzzy Lookup task works beautifully when it generates the lookup index every time it runs, but as I'm planning on running this hundreds of times I'd like it to maintain the index via the trigger. However when it attempts to install the trigger via sp_FuzzyLookupTableMaintenanceInstall I get:
Description: "A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user-defined routine or aggregate "sp_FuzzyLookupTableMaintenanceInstall": System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Error number 8101 is invalid.
(I've not included the full stack trace as I figured this would be enough)
The table currently has an After Insert and After Update trigger. CLR integration is enabled in this database instance. Is there some other option I need to set somewhere?
