I need to develop some crystal reports on some .NET ado datasets.This is easy to do if I actually had data to work with. It is mucheaser creating reports with you have data.Therefore, I would like to run the stored procedure that the .NET adodataset is built on and generate an XML file. I could run the projectand try to figure out where the developers are making the call to thestored procedure and insert a line to writetoxmlfile. I would rathernot have to mess with their code.Is there a way working with SQL Server (either query analyzer orenterprise manager, dts, or whatever) that I can generate an xml file.I see that I can run a stored procedure and get an xml style return inquery analyzer, but I don't know how to save that as an actual file.Thanks for the help.Tony

Basically I have a stored procedure that unions multiple queries between databases. I need to be able to export this to a text file on a daily basis and add a total records: row to the end of the text file.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi,
How to read from a flat file in a stored procedure. Is there any built in utility available ? Please let me know.
Mahesh.
Hi,
I tried to find some information about this, but surprisingly can't seem to find anything. Seems like it would be a very common scenario.
I need to send the output of a stored procedure to a flat file. First, I created an Execute SQL Task that calls the stored procedure. I selected "full result set."
My first question is, how do I capture the individual column values? For example, under "Result Set", should I create an Object variable, or should I use individual column variables? I've tried both ways, but can't seem to get to the next item, below...
Now, how do I map the variables to the flat file? If I use a data flow task, the flat file has "no available inputs". If I add an OLE DB Source before the flat file destination, there's no place to capture the result set.
Clearly, I am missing something here.
Thanks
By changing the properties of Flat-file connection I am able to create file with encoding as utf16 or western-European, but not UTF8. What may I be missing?
The code page is set to '65001' for UTF8 and when we uncheck the UNICODE check box then the file generated is "Western European" and If UNICODE checkbox is checked then the encoding is UTF16.
Please help me to generate flatfile with encoding as UTF8.
What object do I reference to use SSIS from Excel. I want to generate a flat file definition based on Excel. I have a lot of fields to import and I don't feel like creating them as flat file columns. I have a few tables and I get the source file format from the vendor in an Excel format. What I would like to do is generate a flat file connection in an empty package using VBA.

I need creating a store procedure which generates custom IDs for each asset. I am programming for Fixed Assets in VB6 with SQL Server 2005. For example, when a new Asset is added ,I need to auto generate the ID based on existing IDs. New ID should not exist in tblAssets table.
Table Name : tblAssets
Fields : AssetID > Int,Primary Key,this is internal ID (identity seed)
AssetExtID >nvarchar(50),this is external ID, need to generate/user entered.
Below is the example of data in tblAssets :
AssetID AssetExtID ProjectID ItemName Qty UOM UnitCost .....
1 PROSP-00001 PROSPERITY SPLIT-AC 2 NOS $200
2 PROSP-00002 PROSPERITY LAPTOP 1 NOS $500
3 UNIII-00001 UNION III LAPTOP 5 NOS $400
4 UNIII-00002 UNION III RECEIVER 2 NOS $312
The AssetExtID depends on the ProjectID which is in tblProjects.
I will take care of the first 5 characters to generate. But the number part I need to generate by checking existing data. The AssetExtID should not be duplicate. Its unique for each asset.
We need to create a pdf file from SQL server preferably from a stored procedure. Application will call the stored procedure and it should generate pdf. From my research it appears it can be done using various external tools with licensing/costs. But is it possible to do this within sql server database without additional costs? I read that this can be done by SSRS in SQL server but not sure if it is a good solution and if it is additional licensing..
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am testing SSIS and have created a Flat File Destination. I defined the Flat File Connection as New for the first time and it worked fine. Now, I would like to go back and modify the Flat File Connection in the Flat File Destination Editor, but it allows only to create a New connection rather allowing me to edit the existing one. For testing, I can go back and create a new connection, but if my connection had 50-100 columns then it would be an issue to re-create it from scratch.
Did someone else faced this issue?
Thanks,

There is SCPTXFR.EXE script that has an option to create a script for all DB objects in one file or create separate files for each DB object - one for tables, one for SP-s, one for triggers, etc.
Is there a way to generate:
1. Separate script for each stored procedure (not from Enterprise Manager but automatically from command line or otherwise);
2. Script all DB objects excluding stored procedures in one file.
Thank you.
Hi,
I have a situation where a tab limited text file is used to populate a sql server table.
The tab limited text file comes from a third party vendor. There are fixed number of columns we need to export to the sql server table. However the third party may add colums in the text file. Whenenver the text file has an added column (which we dont need to import) the build fails since the flat file connection manager does not create the metadata for it again. The problem goes away where I press the button "Reset Columns" since it builds the metadata then. Since we need to build the tables everyday we cannot automate it using SSIS because the metadata does not change automatically. Is there a way out in SSIS?
I am transferring data from an OLEDB source to a Flat File Destination and I want the column width for all of the output columns to 30 (max width amongst the columns selected), but that is not refected in the Fixed Width Flat File that got created. The outputcolumnwidth seems to be the same as the inputcolumnwidth. Is there any other setting that I am possibly missing or is this a possible defect?
Any inputs will be appreciated.

Hi all,
I m using SSIS and i am transfering the data from Flat File Source to the OLE DB destination File. The source file contain some corrupt data which i am transfering to the other Flat file destination file.
Debugging is succesful but i am not getting any error output in the Flat file destination file.
i had done exactly which is written in the msdn tutorial of SSIS.
Plz tell me why i am not getting the error output in the destination flat file?
thanx
I'm reading a Flat File.
The 1ste record containts special Info that is needed for first preparing the database on a buld insert of the remaining lines.
How could i realize this, just read 1 line, store some of that data into variables, execute some proc's and then read the rest of the file ?
Kind Regards.
First, a couple of important bits of information. Until last week, I had never touched SISS, and therefore, I know very little about it. I just never had the need to use it...until now. I was able to convert my first 3 flat files to SQL2005 tables by right clicking on "SISS Package" and choosing "SISS Import and Export Wizard". That is the extent of my knowledge! So please, please, please be patient with me and be as descriptive as possible.
I thought I could attach some sample files to this post, but it doesn't look like I can. I'll just paste the information below in two separate code boxes. The first code box is the flat file specifications and the second one is a sample single line flat file similar to what I'm dealing with (the real flat file is over 2 gigs).
My questions are below the sample files.

As you can see, each entry could have any number of records and multiples of some of the record types, with one exception, every entry must have a "01" record and can only have one "01" record. Oh, and each record has a length of 400.
I need to get this information into a SQL 2005 database so I can create a front end for accessing the data. Originally, I wanted one line for each account and have null values listed for entries that don't have a specific record. Now that I've looked at the data again, that doesn't look like a good idea. I think a better way to do it would be to create 5 different tables, one for each record type. However, records 2 through 5 don't have anything I can make a primary key. So here are my questions...
Is it possible to make 5 tables from this one file, one table for each of the record types?
If so, can I copy the Account number in record 01, position 13-19 in each of the subsequent record types (that way I could link the tables as needed)?
Can this be done using the SISS Import and Export Wizard to create the package? If not, I'm going to need some very basic step by step instructions on how to create the package.
Is SISS the best way to do this conversion or is there another program that would be better to use?
I know this is a huge question and I appreciate the help of anyone who boldly decides to help me! Thank you in advance and I welcome anyone's suggestions!
I have a Stored proc which on execution, will generate data in the view .
My requirement is using SSIS, how can I create a Flat file pointing to this view ?
I am having one store procedure which use to load data from flat file to staging table dynamically.
Everything is working fine.staging_temp table have single column. All the data stored in that single column. below is the sample row.
AB¯ALBERTA ¯93¯AI
AI¯ALBERTA INDIRECT ¯94¯AI
AL¯ALABAMA ¯30¯
After the staging_temp data gets inserted into main table.my probelm is to handle such a file where number of columns are more than the actual table.
If you see the sample rows there are 4 column separated by "¯".but actual I am having only 3 columns in my main table.so how can I get only first 3 column from the satging_temp table.
Output should be like below.
AB¯ALBERTA ¯93
AI¯ALBERTA INDIRECT ¯94
AL¯ALABAMA ¯30
How to achieve above scenario...
How can I take this example Flat file and parse out each section to a new flat file? Each section starts with HD (header row)
http://www.webfound.net/flat_file_example.txt
e.g. an example output file based on above (cutting out the first section) would be:
http://www.webfound.net/flatfile_output.txt
Also, I'll need to grab a certain value in each header row (certain position in the 100 byte header row) to use that as part of the filename that's outputed. I assume it would be better to insert these rows into a temp table then somehow do a search on a specific position in the row...but that's impossible? The other route is to insert each row into a temp table separated out by fields but that is going to be too combursome because we have several formats to determine separation of fields based on the row type so I'd have to create many temp tables and many components in SSIS when all we want to do is again:
1) output each group (broken by each header row) into it's own txt file
2) use a field in the header row as part of the name of the output txt file (e.g. look at the first row, whcih is a header row in flat_file_example. txt. I want to grab the text 'AR10' and use that as part of the filename that I create
Any suggestions on how to approach this whole process in SSIS...the simplest approach that will work ?
Hey,
I'm looking for a good way to rewrite my T-SQL code with 'bcp' to SSIS package, any help would be greatly appreciated?

SET @date = CONVERT(CHAR(10),GETDATE(),110)
SET @ArchPath = '\D$EDATAWorkFoldersSendSendData'
SELECT @TotalRows = count(*) FROM table1
--select @ArchPath
WHILE (@RowCnt <= @TotalRows)
BEGIN
SELECT @AccountNumber = AccountNumber, @output_filename FROM table1 WHERE Identity_Number = @RowCnt
--PRINT @AccountNumber --test
SELECT @sql = N'bcp "SELECT h.HeaderText, d.RECORD FROM table2 d INNER JOIN table3 h ON d.HeaderID = h.HeaderID WHERE d.ccountNumber = '''

I have defined an email as a .html file on my server: /Emails/email.htmlThis file defines what the email will look like and in the text I have placed tags that need to be replaced with values.A tag that requires replacement looks like: <#SENDERNAME> or <#RECEIVERNAME>I want to replace these tags with the names of the sender and the receiver respectively.AFTER this is done the email needs to be sent to the receiver's address, let's say: receiver@yes.comI want to create a stored procedure that takes as input the sender and receivername AND receiveraddress.It then uses the file I have defined on my server, replaces the tags and sends the email.How can I do this?!

Hi..
I have a website in which the user uploads a text file to the webserver. and then i am calling a stored procedure which loads the data into the staging database using bulk copy. since my sql database and the web server are in different machines but on the same domain.. i am accessing the .txt file from the stored procedure by giving http://Ipaddress/ApplicationName/Directory/plan.txt
and the format file using the same address i.e http://Ipaddress/ApplicationName/Directory/plan.fmt
But when i press ctrl + click on the text file it take me to that location but when i do the same for the format file it says the page cannot be found.. Since it cannot access the .fmt file my import doesnt work.
Any help will be appreicated..
Thank you,

I've been administering SQL Server for quite a while, but have managed until now to stay out of the development side. I find myself finally writing some complex SProcs. What I want to do is to create a "switch", i.e., a parameter that will output a few lines of text characterizing the SProc, with such information as required & optional parameters, potential "gotchas", and a handful of examples of usage. I want this to be able to work like this:
EXEC spMySProc '?'
or
EXEC spMySproc 'help'
This has to work even if there are multiple required parameters.
Thanks for your help!
Reading through the forums, I found some great imformation for importing/exporting an excel spreadsheet via a stored procedure, however, the amount of data I have won't fit in excel. Can someone help me export a CSV file via a stored procedure? I don't know if XML is the answer or if there is another way. I am able to use Bulk for an insert of a csv via stored procudure, although it doesn't allow me to use a variable for the file name and pass it in. We are currently using SQL Server 2000.

I have a bulk insert script. I have a stored procedure. I saved the stored procedure as a .sql file in another folder too.
