How Do I Create A Temp Table As The Beginning Of A Process Flow?
Dec 29, 2006
Hi
Folx,
I
am new to SQL Server and I am struggling.
Versions:
Microsoft
SQL Server Integration Services Designer Version
9.00.1399.00
Microsoft
SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.1399.00
I
would like to
01.
create a temp table
02.
load the temp table from a flat file
03.
insert into a destination table the rows from the temp table where NOT EXIST the
primary key of the destination table.
ISSUES:
Flat
File Source will not accept that a resource will be available that does not yet
exist (the temp table)
I
set the Flat File Source to €śIgnore Failure€? and ran the package. It ran with
warnings but did not insert the new rows.
The
€śIgnore Duplicates€? radio button is €śgrayed out€? because the index is clustered
Now
I could work around this thing by keeping a table just for purposes of this
process flow. I am opposed to that philosophically and would prefer to do this
in the way that I consider appropriate€¦is there a solution?
I have a series of data flow tasks that I want to output to a temp table. I've set the data source for RetainSameConnection and the Data Flows are DelayValidation. The OLE DB data source inside the Data Flow works fine, but the data destinations don't offer a # or ## as a target. I've tried every destination that sounds logical, without success.
I have started working on SSAS since last week, I need to perform some calculations on the data fetched from the cube based on the parameters. SSRS is used to display the output and SSAS is used as a data source.
How i could perform the operations on the data fetched from the cube in SSAS? Does SSAS provides the storage structure like temp table in stored procedure where we can perform the various operations before sending final data back to the client side tool(SSRS)?
OR Is there any alternative way to perform the operations based on the input provided through the parameters
i am inserting something into the temp table even without creating it before. But this does not give any compilation error. Only when I want to execute the stored procedure I get the error message that there is an invalid temp table. Should this not result in a compilation error rather during the execution time.?
--create the procedure and insert into the temp table without creating it. --no compilation error. CREATE PROC testTemp AS BEGIN INSERT INTO #tmp(dt) SELECT GETDATE() END
only on calling the proc does this give an execution error
Hi all!I have a problem with a temp table.I start creating my table:bdsqlado.execute ("CREATE TABLE #MyTable ...")There is no error. The sql string has been tested and when it'sexecuted in the sql query analyzer it really creates the table.After creating the table, I execute an insert statement:bdsqlado.execute ("INSERT INTO #MyTable VALUES(...) "It returns an error like this: "Invalid Object Name #MyTable"I don't understand what's wrong. If I execute both sql sentences inthe SQL Query Analyzer it works perfectly.I use the same connection to execute both statements and I don't closeit before the INSERT is executed.I think it may be something related to dynamic properties of theconnection, but I'm not sure. It's just an idea.Please I need help.Thanks a lot,
Can someone send me an example of creating a variable to use instead of a temp table? I cannot find an example on books on line, but know it is possible in SQL2000.
I need to create a dynamic temporary table in a SP. Basically, I am using the temp table to mimic a crosstab query result. So, in my SP, I have this:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get all SubquestionIDs for this concept-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DECLARE curStudySubquestions CURSOR LOCAL STATIC READ_ONLY FOR SELECT QGDM.SubquestionID, QGDM.ShortName, QGDM.PosRespValuesFROM RotationMaster AS RM INNER JOIN RotationDetailMaster AS RDM ON RM.Rotation = RDM.Rotation INNER JOIN QuestionGroupMaster AS QGM ON RDM.QuestionGroupNumber = QGM.QuestionGroupNumber INNER JOIN QuestionGroupDetailMaster AS QGDM ON QGM.QuestionGroupNumber = QGDM.QuestionGroupNumberWHERE RM.Study = @StudyGROUP BY QGDM.SubquestionID, QGDM.ShortName, QGDM.PosRespValuesHAVING QGDM.SubquestionID <> 0--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dynamically create a Temp Table to store the data, simulating a pivot table-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SET @Count = 2SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE #AllSubquestions (Col1 VARCHAR(100)'OPEN curStudySubquestionsFETCH NEXT FROM curStudySubquestions INTO @SubquestionID, @ShortName, @PosRespValuesWHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0BEGIN SET @SQL = @SQL + ', Col' + CAST(@Count AS VARCHAR(5)) + ' VARCHAR(10)' SET @Count = @Count + 1 FETCH NEXT FROM curStudySubquestions INTO @SubquestionID, @ShortName, @PosRespValues ENDSET @SQL = @SQL + ', ShowOrder SMALLINT)'CLOSE curStudySubquestionsPRINT 'Create Table SQL:'PRINT @SQLEXEC (@SQL)SET @ErrNum = @@ERROR IF (@ErrNum <> 0) BEGIN PRINT 'ERROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!' RETURN ENDPRINT '*** Table Created ***'-- Test that the table was createdSELECT *, 'TEST' AS AnyField FROM #AllSubquestions The line PRINT @SQL produces this output in Query Analyzer (I added the line breaks for forum formatting):CREATE TABLE #AllSubquestions (Col1 VARCHAR(100), Col2 VARCHAR(10), Col3 VARCHAR(10), Col4 VARCHAR(10), Col5 VARCHAR(10), Col6 VARCHAR(10), Col7 VARCHAR(10), ShowOrder SMALLINT) However, the SELECT statement to test the creation of the table produces this error:*** Table Created ***Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_SLIDE_CONCEPT_AllSubquestions, Line 73Invalid object name '#AllSubquestions'. It appears that the statement to create the table works, but once I try to access it, it doesn't recognize its existance. Any ideas?
I have a view which works fine but I cannot display the data in the Report tool because its
CCSID is HEX. If I could create it to temp table
I think then there would be an easy way to get around this problem.
This is the code:
CREATE VIEW astlib.acbalmpk AS ( (SELECT LMLTPC, COALESCE(IRLOC1,'') as IRLOC1, COALESCE(IRLOC2,'') as IRLOC2, COALESCE(IRLOC3,'') as IRLOC3, IRPRT#, IRQOH#, IRWHS#, '' as IEPRT#, '.00' as IEQOH#, '' as IELOC1, '' as IELOC2, '' as IELOC3, '' as IERIDC, '' as IEWHS#
Sorry guys I know this is easy but I've been looking for about an hour for a straight forward explanation. I want to store a user's wish list while they browse the site, then they can send me an enquiry populated with their choices. Basically, a shopping cart! I thought of using session variables and string manipulations but I am more comfortable with DB queries. a simple 4 column table would cover everything. SQL server and VBScript Thanks M
I have a local SQL2005 server with a linked SQL2000 server. I would like to know how to create a temporary table in the remote server in such a way that I can make an inner join as follows; my idea is to optimized a distributed query by doing so:
create table #myRemoteTempTable
insert into #myRemoteTempTable select * from myLocalTable
update myRemoteTable set Value=#myRemoteTempTable.Value from myRemoteTable inner join #myRemoteTempTable on #myRemoteTempTable.ID=myRemoteTable.ID
I'm new to sql and could do with some help resolving this issue.
My problem is as follows,
I have two tables a BomHeaders table and a BomComponents table which consists of all the components of the boms in the BomHeaders table.
The structure of BOMs means that BOMs reference BOMs within themselves and can potentially go down many levels:
In a simple form it would look like this:
LevelRef: BomA
1component A 1component B 1Bom D 1component C
What i would like to do is potentially create a temporary table which uses the BomReference as a parameter and will loop through the records and bring me back every component from every level
Which would in its simplest form look something like this
LevelRef: BomA
1......component A 1......component B 1......Bom D 2.........Component A 2.........Component C 2.........Bom C 3............Component F 3............Component Z 1......component C
I would like to report against this table on a regular basis for specific BomReferences and although I know some basic SQL this is a little more than at this point in time i'm capable of so any help or advice on the best method of tackling this problem would be greatly appreciated.
also i've created a bit of a diagram just in case my ideas weren't conveyed accurately.
Hi, I am using a SQL back end to dynamically populate an asp.net report/page. As the data I'm interrogating is created from a tree control, I'm having to use a recursive function to retrieve the data into a series of ID values. This all happens at the moment in a DataTable manipulated with c# code. So my ID values end up in this datatable. My problem is that I am then performing a crosstab query in SQL Server 2000 and these ID are required as part of that query. Should I create a temp table and join this into the query or should i feed in a series of ID values into a where clause? Any help gratefully appreciated. Thanks. John
I am a starter of vb.net and trying to build a web application. Do anyone know how to create a temp table to store data from database? I need to extract data from 3 different tables (Profile,Family,Quali). Therefore, i need to use 3 different queries to extract from the 3 tables and then store it in the temp table. Then, i need to output the data from temp table to the screen. Do anyone can help me?
I pulled some examples of using a subquery pivot to build a temp table, but cannot get it to work.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Pyr') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #Pyr GO SELECT vst_int_id, [4981] AS Primary_Ins, [4978] AS Secondary_Ins,

The problems I am having are with the integer data being used to create temp table fields. The bracketed numbers on line 7-10 give me an invalid column name error each. In the 'FOR', I get another error "Incorrect syntax near 'FOR'. Expecting '(', or '.'.". Â The first integer in the "IN" gives me an "Incorrect syntax near '[4981]'. Expecting '(' or SELECT". Â I will post the definitions from another effort below.
I have an Access app. that I am migrating the DB portion (queries, tables) to SQL server. I need to create a temp table that lasts as long as the user has the Access FE app. open. Idea is that the temp table stores the user's parameters (used for filtering data entry forms and report). The parameters allow the app. to only show the user his data (cannot view other users data). The SP shown below works OK, it creates a ##Temp table and updates it with the parameters sent by Access FE app. The issue I am having is that as soon as the SP finishes the ##Temp table is removed. I thought of using a regular table, but, I am currently testing this migration in my local SQL server instance, as soon as I move the database to production environment, then users will not be able to create tables as permissions are only read/write.

I am looking for a way to leave a Data Flow Task destination table name as-is, and have SSIS auto-create the table if it doesn't exist already.
I searched on this in the forums but based on the question it's difficult to kow if it has been answered or not.
Details:
I am writing some SSIS packages that need to be executable on another server. Many of the Data Flow Tasks copy data (such as from a Fuzzy Grouping transformation, and lots of other stuff) into a new table. But the other server will not have these tables set up for the first run.
My current solution is to check information_schema.tables and drop IF EXISTS. But, then the Data Flow Task will not work (becase table does not exist). So, I script to new window a create table statement based on the existing table that I use in my dev environment. This is a hack and I want to find a better method.
It is quite possible (although unlikely) that the source columns could be changed in the future, or some query used to pull the data might be modified. If this happens, then I would need to change the CREATE TABLE Execute SQL task. I want my package to accommodate without having to modify it.
When I use the Import/Export Wizard, I can select a table name from the drop down list OR type in a new name. When I type in the new name, it assumes I want to create the table. NOW, is there a way to mimic this in BI Developer Studio? Yep, I saved the Wizard version of the SSIS package and all it does is run a CREATE TABLE statement first.

I want to create index for hash table (#TEMPJOIN2) to reduce the update query run time. But I am getting "Warning!
The maximum key length is 900 bytes. The index 'R5IDX_TMP' has maximum length of 1013 bytes. For some combination of large values, the insert/update operation will fail". What is the right way to create index on temporary table.
Update query is running(without index) for 6 hours 30 minutes. My aim to reduce the run time by creating index.Â
And also I am not sure, whether creating index in more columns will create issue or not.
Attached the update query and index query.

I have a simple Control Flow setup that checks to see if a particular table exists. If the table does not exists, the table is created in an alternate path, if it does exist, the table is truncated before moving to a file import Data Flow that uses an OLE DB Destination to output the imported data.
My problem is, that I get OLE DB package errors if the table the OLE DB Destination Container references does not exist when I load the package.
How can I over come this issue? I need to be able to dynamically create the table in an earlier step, then use that table to import data into in a later step in the workflow.
Is there a switch I can use to turn off checking in the OLE DB Destination Container so that it will allow me to hook up the table creation step?
Seems like this would be a common task...
Steps:
1. Execute SQL Task to see if the required table exists 2. Use expresions to test a variable to check the results of step 1 3. If table exists, truncate the table and reload it from file in Data Flow using OLE DB Destination 4. If table does not exist, 1st create it, then follow the normal Data Flow
What SSIS Task or process can i use to stop my Control Flow Process from running?
I created a SQL Task to do a count on a table to see if there is data, if the count is > 0 then the Control Flow task must continue, else it uses a RAISERROR statement which i use with the event handler, but i want to put something in the event handler to stop the process then and not continue?
I would like to join two tables: one on a local server which I have admin access to and another server which I only have read access. The local table is very small, but the remote table is very large.
If I look at Query Analyzer's execution plan, it appears that the join will be done locally (i.e. the entire table is transferred from the remote server and then joined to my local table). Is there a way to create a temp table using linked servers, transfer my small local table to the remote server and then perform the join on the remote server? In the past, I have been able to use openquery to restrict the data to a small subset that is transferred but the local table is a little too large for that.
I appreciate any advice / guidance anyone can offer me!
I've created a number of tables, views, sproc, and functions whose names begin with "sys_", but when I tried to create a multi-statement table-valued function with this type of name, I got:
Server: Msg 1706, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sys_tmp, Line 9 System table 'sys_test' was not created, because ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not enabled.
I had a quick look in this forum for 1706 (and on Google) but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know for certain if this is a bug in SQL2K?
Thanks, Jos

I think this is a very simple question, however, I don't know the answer. What is the difference between a regular Temp table and a Global Temp table? I need to create a temp table within an sp that all users will use. I want the table recreated each time someone accesses the sp, though, because some of the same info may need to be inserted and I don't want any PK errors.
I'm trying to create a temp table in the stored procedure.the syntex is the following:create st_procvariables declaredif something >0create temp table #Table1if something <0create temp table #Table1SQL Compiler complains about the second create.thanks
I have two SPs, call them Daily and Weekly. Weekly will always callDaily, but Daily can run on its own. I currently use a global temptable because certain things I do with it won't work with a local temptable or table variable.I have been trying to get code so that if the table already exists, itjust keeps going and uses it, but creates the temp table if it doesn'texist. Unfortunately, no matter how I try to do it, it always attemptsto create it, raising an error and breaking the code.create table ##load_file_log (id int identity(1,1),contentsvarchar(1000))insert into ##load_file_log (contents) values ('test record')IF object_id('tempdb..##load_file_log') IS not NULLprint 'exists'ELSEcreate table ##load_file_log (id int identity(1,1),contentsvarchar(1000))select * from ##load_file_logdrop table ##load_file_logIf I change it to IS NULL, the same error occurs (Server: Msg 2714,Level 16, State 1, Line 7There is already an object named '##load_file_log' in the database.)I have found one way to do it, but it seems a bit...clunky.IF object_id('tempdb..##load_file_log') IS NULLexec ('create table ##load_file_log (id int identity(1,1),contentsvarchar(1000))')I'll use that for now, but is there something I missed?Thanks.
I have 3 Checkbox list panels that query the DB for the items. Panel nÂş 2 and 3 need to know selection on panel nÂş 1. Panels have multiple item selection. Multiple users may use this at the same time and I wanted to have a full separation between the application and the DB. The ASP.net application always uses Stored Procedures to access the DB. Whats the best course of action? Using a permanent 'temp' table on the SQL server? Accomplish everything on the client side?

I created a SSIS solution for reading data from dbase and storing them in SQL Server. In a ForEachDirectory-Loop up to one thousand dbase files are read and stored. The system where the packages are running has 16 GB RAM. For the first few hundred dbase files everything goes fine, but then, the RAM seems not to suffice any more and a temp file is created (I changed the path in BufferTempStoragePath).
How can it be that there is a need to create temp files if there is so much RAM available? Why is the RAM filled more and more during the SSIS package execution? Is there anything I can do to release some of it? (it is running in a loop and there is no need to store all the data) Could it be caused by dbase?? (I use Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider)
Another thing is that the temp file is not stored in the path I set in BufferTempStoragePath. There are sufficient permissions set, but temp file is still created in user temp folder...
