Has anybody used the "Use fast load" or "Table lock" options in the advanced DTS package properties ? These are supposed to be in the Advanced tab of the Data Transformation Properties dialog box. I cannot seen to find them. I want to set them in order to have the load execute in nonlogged mode. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I'm working on a custom dataflow destination component. It makes use of the External Metadata Collection. I also use Custom Properties with the external metadata collection.
When I open the destination component using the Advanced Editor, and select an External Metadata Collection and change the Custom Property it always changes back to the original value.
Additionally the method SetExternalMetadataColumnProperty never gets called.
Here is a little Test Component that surfaces the problem:
[DtsPipelineComponent(ComponentType=ComponentType.DestinationAdapter, DisplayName="Test Destination")]
public class Class1 : PipelineComponent
{
public override void ProvideComponentProperties()
{
base.ProvideComponentProperties();
ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.RemoveAll();
IDTSInput90 input = ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.New();
input.Name = "Name";
input.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection.IsUsed = true;
IDTSExternalMetadataColumn90 ext = input.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection.New();
ext.Name = "ExtName";
IDTSCustomProperty90 customProp = ext.CustomPropertyCollection.New();
customProp.Name = "Custom Property";
customProp.Value = "Hallo";
}
public override IDTSCustomProperty90 SetExternalMetadataColumnProperty(int iID, int iExternalMetadataColumnID, string strPropertyName, object oValue)
{
return base.SetExternalMetadataColumnProperty(iID, iExternalMetadataColumnID, strPropertyName, oValue);
}
}
Any ideas how to make that work?

Is it possible to change the database name defined in the destinatation table definition of the transformation object programmitacally?
We have different database names between dev and prod. The package was created against dev. I'm trying to copy the package to the prod server and programmatically change the database name where necessary.
Hi
We have a list of 40-50 SSIS packages and could grow up to 100. Each one loads 5-20 tables. I’d like to write a program (probably another package utilizing "Script task/component") to:
1- List all the packages by name
2- List input and output tables and/or file systems for each package
3- List child packages and procedures that are referenced in each package
So I need to have access to the Package properties.
I would like to hear your idea/clue/tips and or any helpfull direction.
Thanks so much.
Creating a SQL Agent job to run a package works just fine. On the Step Properties, Set values tab, I can add variables and the values I want for them, no problem. The job runs just fine. If I want to go edit the values however, they're always gone.
Is there some security setting that hides the variables and their values which is on by default?
I want to input a parameter to my package. I have a variable, and I tried changing its value from DTExecUI.
I did everything as mentioned in http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2007/03/13/SSIS_3A00_-Property-Paths-syntax.aspx but I still get an error -
Could not set "Package.Variables[User::var_input_step_Name].Properties[Value]" value to "RAW".
The variable was originally read from a XML config file. I stored the package to MSDB. I then ran dtexecui, selected my msdb package, and in Set Values, I entered property path and value. I also tried removing the "", and I even deleted the XML configuration. Still the same error.
What am I doing wrong? Any Package Settings to make?
TIA

I'm currently trying to convert over packages from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. The biggest obstacle at the start has to do with converting my "Dynamic Properties" control. I use it to read an .ini file and load the user name and password to my connections. With 2000 it's nice and easy 1 file 3 lines. While trying to convert it I€™ve had nothing but problems. I've tried the Registry Entry but it forces everything into the Current User and I can't use that I need local machine. There is no documentation and I can't have a xml file with 1000 different username and password settings because 1 person has to update that file with the new passwords. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank You

I am attempting to run an SSIS package from a web service. Right now both the service and package are on my local machine which is running XP. I have accessed the web service from a client application in debug mode. I am not sure if it is actually running under aspnet_wp.exe because it is XP and a development environment? (separate question)??? The package fails with a series of OnError messages similar to:
The result of the expression ""/c DEL /F /Q "" + @DeployFolder + "\catalog.diff.lz""" on property "Arguments" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.
An initial supposition is that the permissions of the web service are inadequate for the package. I have the authentication as "Windows" and <identity impersonate="true" /> in the Web.Config file. When I break in the debugger the Environment.UserName and Environment.UserDomainName are mine and I am an Admin on the box.
the authorization is 'deny users="?".
The article that describes basic implementation of this in a Web Service states:
With its default settings for authentication and authorization, a Web
service generally does not have sufficient permissions to access SQL
Server or the file system to load and execute packages. You may have to
assign appropriate permissions to the Web service by configuring its
authentication and authorization settings in the web.config
file and assigning database and file system permissions as appropriate.
A complete discussion of Web, database, and file system permissions is
beyond the scope of this topic.
And how!
Note that the load is fine and that this is a run time error and that the package runs correctly when run manually from SQL Server using the 'run package' menu item in the Object Explorer tree of the SQL Server Management Console.
I need to know if this is an ASP.NET issue per se or XP or if this is even a security issue. And how to solve it! This is critical path so an expeditious reply with a solution would be greatly appreciated.
I have an ODBC connection string that is working fine with the following properties:
Database="XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY"; strangely no server is specified in the string, but it is specified in the ODBC Connection file.
I am trying to do a new server registration in SSMS for this database.However, I don't understand where the network spec is placed.
Under Registered server name I've tried:
YYYYYYXXXXX
When I browse the server for the database instance list, I receive "network path was not found".
I even tried:"XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY" for the registered server name.Same error message.
What am I doing wrong ?

Here's one for one of you SQL genuises out there. I really appreciate any help that I can get. There are several steps to this.Step 1:I have a database that holds timesheet records for users. These records are by week. I need a query that will return the username of the people that have entered 0 time for all of their timesheets in the database.Step 2:I need a query that will delete and timesheets that have 0 time entered after the last timesheet with time entered. If they entered time in week 3 but have 0 time for week 4 and 5 and then are withdrawn at week 5 I need to remove timesheets for week 4 and 5. Note, they could have entered 0 for week 2 as long as week three has time entered.Step 3: - THIS IS THE MONSTER-Since the timesheets are by week, I need to find the date that the last time was entered. The timesheet has a start-date then suntime, montime, tuetime, wedtime etc. Sunday would equal the week start-date. So, if time was last entered on Friday, the date that I'm looking for is the start-date + 5. My problem is, How do I go about doing this? I've been trying to do it all in a query to no avail.I really appreciate any assistance that anyone can offer.Thank you,Still learning........-Scott

I'm new in Reporting Services and I have a task to solve. I wonder how to do it in Reporting Services.
For example I have few records:

Q1
Q2
Q3

2005

2
2006

Q and Year
When I run this report I want to choose for example Year = 2006, and Q = 3
When I choose these values I need to calculate a field in report like this:
needed_sum = 0(Q1,year=2005) + 0(Q2,year=2005) + 10(Q3,year=2005) + 20(Q4,year=2005) + 20(Q1,year=2006) + 20(Q2,year=2006) + 35(Q3,year=2006)
I need to declare variables, like it is calculating on a section in other reports systems. Here I found only code for report where I can write some functions.
Anyway..
Did someone knows how to solve this problematic task??

Hi, Using Visual Web Developer and SQL Express, (coding in Csharp) I want to add a
advanced search facility to my site. Problem is I do not know how to begin.
The website is a business directory and displays company names and services that they provide.
Here is where I am at....
So far I have made one query which allows users to search the database by "town" such as if they enter "London" in the text box, it returns the relevant records into a gridview.
Rather than have a seperate text box for each query, I want to provide an advanced search box option so users can define their search and query the database by various criterias, such as geography, sector, name, number of employees in companies etc.
I have seen compact advanced search boxes on many sites!.
Replies greatly appreciated.

I want to query a database through a ASP.NET page and I want to set the page up like an advanced search page would look. My question is, how do I write the stored procedure and/or what value do I pass from ASP.NET to accomplish null or blank values. For instance, if someone wants to query by TRIP id and not vehicle ID then how do I write the where claue?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have the following figured out, however what I want to do is almost come up with a new column based on if the row actually exists in the employeeeval column:
SELECT e.DeptID, e.LastName + ', ' + e.FirstName AS EmpName, e.EmployeeID, u.UserName FROM Employee e LEFT OUTER JOIN EmployeeEval ev ON e.EmployeeID = ev.EmployeeID LEFT OUTER JOIN [User] u ON u.Department = e.DeptID WHERE (u.RoleID = 'supervisor') AND (e.CompanyID = @CompanyID) AND (e.FacilityID = @FacilityID) AND (ev.PersonalScore IS NULL) ORDER BY e.DeptID, e.LastName
so in my select I want to add something like ev.approved which then that brings back either Null or 0. Then based on that create a variable to bring back as a string and if it = 0 make my string say 'In Progress' and if it's Null, say 'Not Started'. I would imagine I would need a Declare @Status nvarchar(15) --- but I get lost after that b/c wouldn't I need some sort of way to count throught the rows of my result set and do an IF statement? I can't quite figure this process out, after numerous attempts.
Hello.
I want to order a resultset from a table by two columns in another table. Here's how it looks:
[Books]
ID
Title
[linkBookAuthor]
BookID (Books.ID)
AuthorID (Authors.ID)
[Authors]
ID
Firstname
Lastname
AuthorOrder
As you can see it's a many to many relationship. Is there a way to order the books by Authors.Lastname (the first if there are several authors) with one query ? If not, what is the fastest way ? I don't need the names in the resultset so I only want to order the books by Authors.Lastname, not include Authors.Lastname.
Thanks for any help.
Dear All,
Can you suggest a good book or set of websites which have advanced SQL tutorials for SQL server? Got the basics but looking to build on my knowledge.
...cause knowledge is power...

Here's a challenge for one of those database experts out there...
I want to join two tables in a Left Join format, with the first table being the one referencing the second table. Easy enough right? Well, I also want to be able to reference this second table from 3 different fields.
For example:
My tables
#1: video
id, description ...etc... award1, award2, award3
#2: award
id, description, image, etc...
As you can see, I want to be able to award more than 1 award from the "award" table to each video in the "video" table. I then want to be able to assign a variable to each field from the result of the SQL query so I can display all the information on one page for every video with every combination of possible awards.
I also, in my SQL Query, want a WHERE clause:
WHERE video.id = $vidid (a variable from a previous page so this page only displays the video I want)
My mind says surely this must be possible, but I have no idea how to go about it. Can anyone give me any hints/help/pointers/advice on this? Even if this requires two SQL queries, I may be able to work with that, but I need to know. If I'm posting at the wrong place, or nobody here knows how to do this, then I would also really appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
Thanks in advance to anyone who even reads this and thinks over it. This is for a free online fan site http://www.lostvideo.net/ that I'm helping with some redesigns.
I have been able to get several basic databases to function both in playingaround and functional ones on the web but they have all been pretty simple.I am now trying to develop a database for the web using Access. What I amreally needing help with is how to actually reduce the number of record setsthat I think i am going to need. Here is what I am trying to do.I am having people sign up and create teams. So you come to the site and yousee Team 1, Team 2... Team 8. (These numbers will later be replaced by realnames given by the team captains and replaced in the database, this will bedone by the captain through the web)You pick a team you want to be on, enterthe info and you are placed on that team (in the database) I have two tablesin the database TeamRoster (everyone on all of the teams) and Teams (Listthe captains and the names of their team)So when I query the database to fill the tables I am confused as to how Ishould go about the query. As I see it I need to build a RS (Record Set) foreach team to get the name of the team for the appropriate table, thenpopulate it with the players for that team (repeating region) if there areeight teams, that means 16 RS. This does not seem right.Am I making any sense?Thanks for trying to understand all of this.Houston

When one requirement says that MS SQL Server 2005 with Advanced Services is required, what does it mean by "Advanced Services"? Doesn't the full version of SQL2005 include all the advanced services? What are advanced services? I've seen the Express version with Advanced Services but this is the full version I'm talking about.

I have a table full of Latitudes, Longitudes, address, customername, etc. , I need to grab some input(Latitude, Longitude, range) from the user. So now I have a source lat, long(user) and destination lat, long(rows in dbase). I need to take the 2 points and compute a distance from the user given lat, long to every lat, long in the database and check that distance againt the range given from the user. If the distance is below the range, I need to put that row into a temp table and return the temp table at the end of the stored proc. As of right now I am completely lost and need some guidance.

Hi!
a) PROBLEM 1:
I have set up my main database like this (of course I'm showing an abbreviation):
company - int (identity)name - nchar
I have several companies stored in the previous table. Now I have another table with messages:
company - int (related with the company of the previous table)messageID - int (identity)contents - nchar
company and messageID are the main key of this table. I want to set the messageID column to change automatically. Since I declared it as identity it is working fine, but I was looking to start it on 0 on every new company:
Company messageID0 00 10 21 0 <- Here the company changed, so the messageID resets1 11 21 32 0 <- Again2 1
Any suggestions?
b) PROBLEM 2:I have my database stored locally on my computer. When I finished working with the database it has a lot of data for testing. I want to upload the database to my hosting provider or to my customer's. But the identity columns keep incrementing since the last value of my tests, so it's kind of annoying to see values as: 1250, 223, etc. when I expect to see 0,1, 2 and so on. Also, for receipts this is a very important issue.
How can I reset the identity fields?
Thank you very much for your attention and help.

Hello,
(Excuse my english, i'm a french man)
I want to make a stored procedure on that model :
CREATE Procedure SGCP_GetEleveArgs
(
@Arg1 nVarChar,
@Val1 nVarChar
)
AS
SELECT *
FROM Eleve
WHERE @Arg1 = @Val1
So you understand that i want to pass my argument (@Arg1) as a field of a column.
but it gives :
WHERE 'Nom' = 'Dupont'
but i want to have :
WHERE Nom = Dupont
for it to work.
Have you an idea to solve that problem ?
Thanx

Hi,
Since I am new to DTSs therefore currently I am making my DTSs in a manner where there probably is a room for improvement e.g. When I have to Import data from one server to another I use the Import feature and then I go through all the steps of the wizard (at the end of which I get the option to save my DTS)....
In the DTS "design window" there are many options under the TASK menu option and is there a url from where I can learn how to use these options (under TASK i.e. File Transfer Protocaol task, ActiveX Script Task, Transform Data Task, etc. etc.).
Maybe if I know how to use these options, I might be able to write my DTS in better and flexible manner...
Hope my posts is making some sense????
Thanks
Hi!
I'm trying to get the following query to work:
SELECT item.name AS name, t15.f167 AS start, t15.f168 AS end, t15.f180 AS organizer

FROM item, t30
WHERE item.row_id = t30.id AND t30.f221 > getDate()

The problem is the organizer field. I need to generate an url, but I get all sorts of problems with data types, ie. you can convert an int into ntext.
So the question is basically, how do I get the following to work:
'<a class=kalender_link href=http://www.xxx.no/default.asp?V_ITEM_ID=' + item.id + '> KAN < / a >'
