I would like to create table by T-SQL
and need to specify Description
But I can't find any sample to add Description property by T-SQL
Additionally, I also would like modify Description property by T-SQL.
What can I do ?????
Please help me ......
I'm selectively migrating a load of data from one database to another and would like to be able to get & set a table fields Description property (as seen on the Design window under Column Properties) programmatically. I'm having a spot of bother in actually finding how to do it - anyone know?
Ta,
Rob
P.S. Just thought I'd mention - I do know about sp_addextendedproperty, and while I will use that if I have to, it would be nice to be able to use the existing column property Description so that when editing, the user can see the value.
I am adding two OLE DB Source components to my pipeline and giving them different names
(via the Sourcename variable) but like they are assuming default name and description i.e. OLE DB Source which is causing the following error message on opening the package that was generated.
The package contains two objects with the duplicate name of "component "OLE DB Source" (37)" and "component "OLE DB Source" (1)"
Here is how I am doing it, in the debugger the names in both instances seem to have set correctly based on the variable but when saved they are lost. What am I doing wrong here?
IDTSComponentMetaData90 source = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New();
source.Name = Sourcename;
source.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.OleDbSource.1";
source.Description = Sourcename;
Thanks
I am trying to figure out how to set the Description of a Column in my database table by making a SQL function call. I know that I can go into Microsoft Studio Express and type in each desciption for each column. I just have about 1000 variables and each variable's description is in an Excel spreadsheet. I want to be able to build SQL code that will set each of the 1000 variables own description.
Thanks for any help.

I am having problems exporting data into a flat file using specific code page. My application has a variable "User::CodePage" that stores code page value (936, 950, 1252, etc) based on the data source. This variable is assigned to the CodePage property of desitnation file connection using Property expression.
But, when I execute the package, the CodePage property of the Destination file connection defaults to the initial value that was set for "User:CodePage" variable in design mode. I checked the value within the variable during runtime and it changes correctly for each data source. But, the property of the destinatin file connection doesn't change and results in an error.
[Flat File Destination [473]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Column01" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The ProcessInput method on component "Flat File Destination" (473) failed with error code 0xC02020A0. The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running.
If I manually update the variable with correct code page and re-run the ETL, everything works fine. Just that it doesn't work during run-time mode.
Can someone please help me resolve this.
Thanks much.
Hi,
I developed a simple custom control flow component which has several read/write properties and one readonly property (lets call it ROP) whichs Get method simple returns the value of a private variable (VAR as string). In the Execute method the VAR has a value assigened. When I put the value of ROP or VAR into MsgBox I can see the correct value. However when I execute the component I can not see the value of the ROP in the property window. I see the property but its value is empty string. For example when I put a breakpoint to postexecute or check the property before click OK in a MsgBox I would expect that the property value would be updated in SSIS as well. Is there a way how to display correct values of custom tasks properties in property window?
Thanks for any hints.
Untill recently I had a smooth running SSIS package,but suddenly it throws error syaing
"OnError,,,,,,,The result of the expression
"@[User:trTextFileImpDirectory] +"SomeTextStringHere"+ @[User:trANTTextFileName] +(DT_STR,30,1252) @[User:taging_Date_Key]+ "SomeTextStringHere"
" on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property."
I have child SSIS package running under a parent package (through execute package task)
I have few flat file connection managers in child package for text file import , in which I am building text file path dynamically at run time by assigning an expression in connection string property of connection manager.
The Expression is as follows
"@[User:trTextFileImpDirectory] +"SomeTextStringHere."+ @[User:trANTTextFileName] +(DT_STR,30,1252) @[User:taging_Date_Key]+ +"SomeTextStringHere"
Where @[User:trTextFileImpDirectory] is a variable which contains path of directory containg text
files.Value in this variable is assigned at runtime from parent package's variable,which in turns fetch
value from a configuration file on local server.
With my current configuration this path has been configured to some other server's directory over network ( I.e my package picks text files from some other servers folder over network)
While
"Some string here"+ @[User:trANTTextFileName]" part of file name string.
(DT_STR,30,1252) @[User:taging_Date_Key] Contain the date of processing ,value in this variable is also picked up at run time from parent package variable.
1) So can someone give me some insight into possible reason of failures.
2) Is it possible that problem arises if directory (from which I m picking text files) is assigned password or is there exist some problem in accessing forlders over network ?
3) Or there can be some problem in package configuration at design time( I.e where I m assigning value in variable from parent package vriables)?
Hello,
I have a group I'll call G4.
The header table row for G4 contains 3 textboxes containing the sums of the contents within G4. The header table row for G4 is visible while it's contents, including the G4 footer table row, is kept invisible until the report user drills down into the group.
When the report user drills down into G4 the footer table row becomes visible and the sums of the contents of the group are displayed for a second time.
At this point I want the sums in the header to be set to invisible when the sums in the footer are made visible by the drilldown.
When I try to reference the hidden property of textbox66 in the G4 footer in order to set the hidden property of header textbox57 in the G4 header I get to this point...
=IIF(reportitems!textbox66.
When it fails to give me an option of choosing the .Hidden property and instead only gives me a .Value.
If I complete the IIF statement manually so that it spells out .....
=IIF(ReportItems!Textbox66.Hidden = False, True, False)
...the report chokes on it.
So my question is, how do I reference the hidden property of one or more textboxes in a group to use as condition checks to set the hidden property of another textbox in that same group?
Thank you for any help you can provide. We are only now beginning to implement reporting services and I have not yet had the chance to research this in greater detail for lack of time.
Hi,I have a SQL that is working fine:
SELECT DISTINCT T1.ATCkod FROM ATC_tot T1 JOIN ATC_tot T2 ON T2.ATCkod = T1.ATCkod and T2.Typ_lakemedel LIKE '%' + @Kod2 + '%' JOIN ATC_tot T3 on T3.ATCkod = T1.ATCkod AND T3.Typ_lakemedel LIKE '%' + @Kod3 + '%' WHERE T1.Typ_lakemedel = @KodNow I need to have a description together with the ATCkod, tablename ATC columnname ATCdesc. ATC_tot.ATCkod = ATC.ATCkod. I have tried Inner join without success. Any good suggestions ...?

Hi all,
I need to get the error description from the SQL Server in a SP. For ex:
I have one insert statement which is inserting some values in a tabUserMaster table. If user tries to insert any duplicated row then following error is retruned [in Query analyzer].
Server: Msg 2601, Level 14, State 3, Procedure csp_ProvisionUser, Line 70
Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'CoreUser' with unique index 'IDX_CoreUser_UserName'.
The statement has been terminated.
I want to trap this whole message in a variable. How to do this..... :(
I am having trouble bringing "description" column in to my sp and them at the out put. in the ppatient_status_mstr there is a column called“description” which has patient status such as “discharged” “termed collection” etc... How do I use the SP to bring this description into application? I am assigning it to @mytext. I am not sure how to declare “description” in the SP? Every time I use it I get errors like:
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 20
The multi-part identifier "pm.alerts_ind" could not be bound.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 40
Invalid column name 'description'.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 43
Invalid column name 'description'.
I want to say if user picks a description from application . show me that description in output. But I am having trouble how to use the description? I am not sure if my “IF” statements are correct either?
Here is the procedure
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CheckStatus] (@enc_id varchar(36) OUTPUT, @Mytext varchar(50) OUTPUT, @data_ind Char(1) OUTPUT)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
@alerts_ind char(1)
[code]....
I have hundreds of tables in my database.
Is there a way to get a list of them with a description
of their content (the procedure and the transaction they
are related to, the way columns are created)?
Thank you. Anna - Verona (Italy)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to club the ErrorDescription system variable property in OnError.
And I want to send this whole ErrorDescription variable on onTaskFailed.
Can you please suggest how to club this errordescription on OnError event
This is a request to the Microsoft SSIS staff.
I did a search for the keywords in the description and can already see a lot of people frustrated about this.
A lot of well designed integration packages will route error messages to an error table or file.
SSIS appends a couple of extra error columns called ErrorCode and ErrorColumn. At runtime, an extra
column is visible in the DataViewer called ErrorCode - Description.
The description is hardcoded into the dtsmsg.h file in the SDK folder of Sql Server.
This file is very hard to parse.
Can some from SSIS please post an XML or CSV file with all the error codes and descriptions for us to download please.
This will be such a big help in debugging.
Many Thanks.

Hi,
If you browse to Amazon and drill down through categories until a paged
listing appears, you will see in each item of the listing that the
description rendered as Book Description, is a cutdown version of the
full description, with a ... and "Read More" hyperlink. How is
this achieved programatically? I dont know if thre is an efficient way
in SQL Server to do this, or whether it would be easier to have a
ShortHand field and a Description field, both of which are teh full
description when shown in the Details page, but the ShortHand is the
field rendered in listings. This seems like a simplistic solution
and I am thinking there may be programmatic means of doing the same -
has anybody got any experience in this area?
Thanks!

HI
I have a big problem with SQL server2000. I can't get COLUMN DESCRIPTION.
I will print DATADICTIONARY from a DB, I can get all elemnts (table name, columns name, datatype, precision, scale, FK, PK, default value..) I missed only DESCRIPTION. How I can get it????
Medo
do anyone know the format of the *.ldf file?

Thank you!
In oracle there is a describe command:
describe table_name
This command will tell you the columns names, datatypes, and length of the columns for that particular table. Does anyone know if there is a simliar command in SQL server that would do that? The only way that I have found so far is to do a join of the syscolumns with sysobject by table name.
I'm trying to create a Data Dictionary view from system table info like tablename, fieldname, datatype etc. I can find all that I need except for the "description" field which is displayed in Enterprise Manager/ Repository metadata pane.
How can I locate this field so I can reference it in a view? Isn't it stored in a system table? Master, model? Where is it?
Thank in advance,
Phil

Hello everybody,
If I know the table name, is there any command to list all "Column Name" and the Columns "Description" as shown in the Design Table window.
Any feedback is welcome!
Thank you,

Does anyone have a description of what is a System Analyst responsibility should involve. I was recently assigned the title and is no longer sure what my responsibility should entail. I asked mgmt for a description. Still waiting.
