Hi all, Thanks in advance to any contributions to my question.
Im running SQLServer 2000 in a Win 2000 Server env.
Background:
==========
The database has many views that range from simple to complex joins on
tables.
The selection criteria is fixed eg. 'Where TaskTypeIdent = 2204 and
OutcomeId = 123 or 2322 or 1222 and
CicType = 87878 ... etc etc
Requirement:
===========
Now what I would like to do is be able to change the 'where =' value
part ie. 2204, dynamically if and when required, and it will be
required.
In other words there won't be a DBA handy to do this when it changes
hence I would like to write a front end UI to allow the user to easily
manage this.
There are upwards of 200 views like this.
Question:
========
Where in the system metadata can I access (if possible) the source of
the View such that I can update it with the new values. eg. 'Where
TaskTypeIdent = 7627 and OutcomeId = 2322 or 94847 or 989 and CicType =
1111 ... etc etc
Many thanks
Paul

WHERE [AppraisalView_C].[AppraisalID_C] = 'APP-000006'
but I end up getting the dreaded "Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The multi-part identifier "AppraisalView_C.AppraisalID_C" could not be bound." error....
I cant change the Query that is called, but i can change the view, what is wrong?
I have a package that uses an Excel file source. There appears to be no place to modify the column data types as you can with a flat file manager. As such, the source columns do not match the columns in the database.
I believe I must be overlooking something here.
Can someone please tell me how I can modify the Excel column datatypes?
doing my first steps in SSIS I wanted to copy data from 2 different SQL 2000 database servers to a SQL 2005 Data warehouse. For not having to deploy additional views and procedures to the individual systems I chose to create a Data Source View to create an abstract view on the different data sources. I found out that I can have named queries pointing to the two different data sources in the same view.
1 Project, 2 Data Sources, 1 Data Source View with 3 Named Queries
When I now add a Data Flow Task to the Control Flow how can I specify my DSV as Source for Transformations? I even added both OLEDB Connections to the Connection Manager but the Named Queries from my DSV do not appear at all. I even tried "SELECT from [myNamedQueryFromDSV]" but without success.
The description available at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/ms403395.aspx is bullshit. There is nothing to expand about the "Connection Manager" in the Data Flow Window. I can add a OLEDB Source as described in the above HOWTO and double click it. But the dropdown field for Connection Manager does offer only the two OLEDB Connections and nothing more. Among the items of the access mode "Tables and Views" the named queries not appear. It does not even work with a homogeneous Data Source View.
How can I make it work? Ain't there a better (working) HOWTO out there on how to enable DSV als Data Flow Task data sources? Do I have to wait for SP2 to solve the problem or is it not possible by intention?
Q: How do I use Calculated Columns from a Data Source View in an OLEDB Data Source Adapter.
I took the following steps:
- Created new SSIS project - Added a Data Source connecting to a SQLServer2005 DB (MyDataSource) - Added a Data Source View based on MyDataSource (MyDSV) - Created a Calcualted field to Table Object MyTable (MyCalcField) - Added a Connection Manager based on MyDSV - Added Data Flow to Project - Added OLEDB Source Adapter to Data Flow - Attempting to Access Calculated Field MyCalcField to be used in Data Flow.
ISSUE: I can't seem to find a way to get the Calculated field to pass through. It's as though this metadata is not available to the Flow.
what the program will do if we caught that exception .. i need some suggestions ... i got this exception(String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated.).. will it affect the functionality of the program...
I am new to SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services and would like to use the OLAP Cubes as a datasource to build Mining Model . However i would like to use a particular view of the OLAP cube that i have generated to be used as the datasource for the mining model . I find that i am not able to save the Cube View while browsing the OLAP cube in Business Intelligence Studio. Is there a way i can acheive this requirement.
Any ideas regarding this will be really appreciated.
Hi, i'm wondering which is the best way to search data in a SQL Server. I reach data using Data Sources and Data Views and also with OLE DB Source with a Data access mode: Named query. I have to write the data into a Flat File. So, does any one knows which is the best practice for this? Or any one of the two are good choices? Thanks for your help.
Fellow database developers,I would like to draw on your experience with views. I have a databasethat includes many views. Sometimes, views contains other views, andthose views in turn may contain views. In fact, I have some views inmy database that are a product of nested views of up to 6 levels deep!The reason we did this was.1. Object-oriented in nature. Makes it easy to work with them.2. Changing an underlying view (adding new fields, removing etc),automatically the higher up views inherit this new information. Thismake maintenance very easy.3. These nested views are only ever used for the reporting side of ourapplication, not for the day-to-day database use by the application.We use Crystal Reports and Crystal is smart enough (can't believe Ijust said that about Crystal) to only pull back the fields that arebeing accessed by the report. In other words, Crystal will issue aSelect field1, field2, field3 from ReportingView Where .... eventhough "ReportingView" contains a long list of fields.Problems I can see.1. Parent views generally use "Select * From childview". This meansthat we have to execute a "sp_refreshview" command against all viewswhenever child views are altered.2. Parent views return a lot of information that isn't necessarilyused.3. Makes it harder to track down exactly where the information iscoming from. You have to drill right through to the child view to seethe raw table joins etc.Does anyone have any comments on this database design? I would love tohear your opinions and tales from the trenches.Best regards,Rod.
Newbie here. I've only been using SQL for about a year now and have some minor questions about sql objects that reference other objects.
We have some views which reference other views in the joins. I will call one the primary view and the one being referenced in the joins as the secondary view.
Recently we made changes to the secondary view.
After which the primary views which referenced it would not work because of this change and had to be 'refreshed' by using drop/create scripts which essentially just dropped it and recreated the exact same view. I do not recall the exact error message that was returned other than it seemed to suggest that it could no longer see the secondary view since it had been changed. Nothing in the primary view was changed in any way, just the secondary.
Some here where I work have suggested off hand that this was a recompile of the primary view because the contents of the secondary changed.
My questions are:
1. Exactly why did this happen and is there a proper name for it when it does?
2. The same problem does not seem to occur when we have stored procedures referencing views in the joins which had just been changed. Why is that?
Thanks for any help on the matter. I greatly appreciate it.
Hello There,I'm trying to create a view that has calculations dependent oncalculations, where the problem resides is that each time I make acalculation I must create an intermediate view so I can reference aprevious calculation.for example lets say I have my_table that has columns a & b. now I wanta view that has a & b, c = a + b, and d = c + 1.this is grossly simplified, the calculations I actually use are fairlycomplex and copying / pasting them is out of the question.so what I have is my_view_a which makes column c, and my my_view_finalwhich makes column d (however, in my real application I have 5 of theseviews, a/b/c/d/e/)is there anyway I can consolidate all these views into one? I wasthinking of using a stored procedure with temp tables or somethingalong those lines.I just which I can use the aliases that I create for c in d in onestep.any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I have a got a package with source as sql table which has got 50 columns. We are using only 10 columns out of this. Recently one column name has changed and thus throws error invalid mapping. When I open the source to do the changes noticed that all the colums are prselected now and also the datatypes got changed to default ( I had changed the datatypes as per my requirement while i developed). So now I had to select required columns from source and redo the datatype changes in advanced editor.Is there any option which doesnt disturb this settings and we just need to correct the mapping alone.Â
Hi, I want to transform an xml flow to an html flow. For this, I create an XmlDataDocument, I add on it, all that I want, and I store it in a file (in a dataflow task). After that, in an xml task, I set the input properties like that: Operation type: xslt SourceType: File connection Source: ras.xml
All works fine. But now, I want to use a variable to store my xml data. So, instead of storing my data in ras.xml, I store it in a variable like that:
Dim v As Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSVariables90 Me.VariableDispenser.LockOneForWrite("RAS", v) v("RAS").Value = doc.OuterXml v.Unlock()
and in the xml task, I set configuration like that:
But when I execute, I got this following exception:
Error: 0xC002F304 at Format HTML Mail, XML Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Root element is missing.". Error: 0xC002928F at Format HTML Mail, XML Task: Property "New Source" has no source Xml text; Xml Text is either invalid, null or empty string.
Furthermore, when I want to debug it, in replacing the xml task, by a script task, I can see that in my RAS variable, I get the xml data which is well formed.
i have a program which should give the out like this XAPIALTMKT20010829105525.TXT
but its giving the output = 'X' which is just the first initial...how can i get this...
if i don't write the @filename=.... only then its giving the output..but i want to store it in the varable..how can i do that ================================ declare @v datetime , @filename varchar
It is very interesting to me that most people in this group can't do simpleSQL. Are you viewing MySQL as a simple file system?As long as you do that,you willnot understand SQL in any dialect. So from now on:When you have a question about SQL. post the table structures. Uh, "WithCreate".Post some sample data in the form of INSERTS.Regards,Rich--The journey is the reward.
I was trying to load data using SSIS, Data Flow Task, OLE DB Source, source was a view to a OLE DB Destination (SQL Server). This view returns 420,591 rows from Query Analyzer in 21 seconds. Row length is 925. When I try to executed the Data Flow Task from SSIS, I had to stop the process after 30 minutes, because only 2,000 rows had been retrieved. I modified the view to retun top 440, 000 and reran. This time all 420, 591 rows were retrieved and written in 22 seconds. Next, I tried to use a TOP 100 Percent. Again, only 2,000 rows were return after 30 minutes. TempDB is on a separate SAN Raid group with 200 gig free, Databases on a separate drive with 200 gig free. Server has 13 gig of memory and no other processes were executing.
The only way I could populate the table was by using an Execute SQL Task and hard code an Insert into table selecting data from the view (35 seconds) from SSIS.
Have anyone else experience this or a similar issue? Anyone have a solutionexplanation?
I am having a huge xml file with nested section. i also have a xsd file for that xml. i have a destination table where the data from the xml should be loaded into. i am using the xml source transformation. But o get all the data i need to use multiple merje joins to get the data in a single row which i can insert into the destination.i was not quiet convinced with using so many joins.
so i tried using the script source transformation where i am using xml objects to get the node and dynamically construction the data row. and the output is then inserted into the destination. on comparing the two approach the one using the script source is working much faster than the xml source transformation.
i wanted to know is there any limitaion using the script source to parse through xml files. also i would like to know any other better way of getting the data from xml source without using the joins.
I am trying to send an email from a cmd prompt from SQL Server 2005 server using mailsend program. I am getting the message "Could not send mail". I am really stumped, don't know how to fix it. Any suggesstions?
I have installed SQL Server 2005 and created a job. I made the job failed to test the mailsend program. The notification step that uses the mailsend succeeded but I did not get an email. I am using mailsend program on SQL Server 2000 and it works fine. I am really stomped and don't know what to do to fix it?
tblHIT - this table will reveive record every minutes Date | Time | Main_ID | Hit ------------------------------------ 3/1/2006 | 100 | 200 | 8700 ... ... ... 4/14/2008 | 100 | 200 | 4500 4/14/2008 | 100 | 201 | 8700 4/14/2008 | 200 | 200 | 3500 4/14/2008 | 300 | 201 | 7700 ... ...
I've also 1 job in SQL Server Agent will execute STORED PROCEDURE and will filter 7 days record before from current date and insert it into tblHIT_7days. tblHIT_7days shown as follow tblHIT_7days Date | Time | Main_ID | Hit ------------------------------------ 3/7/2008 | 100 | 200 | 8700 ... ... ... 4/13/2008 | 100 | 200 | 4500 4/13/2008 | 100 | 201 | 8700 4/13/2008 | 200 | 200 | 3500 4/13/2008 | 300 | 201 | 7700
I've plan to create TRIGGER. This TRIGGER will insert the appropriate record from tblHIT into tblHIT_7days and also delete a appropriate record in tblHIT_7days. This INSERT and DELETE transaction depend on current date.
I am about to build a program that will require the use of DB. In the pass I used Access as my back end, but this time I would like to use Sql Server. I just have a few questions before I begin.
1. After deploying and installing my program, do I need to have sql server installed on users system or can the DB file exist on its own and just use ADO.NET to access the file? (As I done in the pass to access my Access mdb file)
2. If I can deploy a sql file -- can it be done with Sql Server Express?
3. If it can't be done, what db program should I use?
On some occasions when trying to send data back to the server, the program will lock up for up to 30 minutes. The code below is the rda data transfer process and the function IsConnected() determines whether there is a connection.
If Not MainFrm.IsConnected Then rda.ConnectionManager = True End If If MainFrm.IsConnected Then Dim sCon As String = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=175.21.21.121;Initial Catalog=OurDb;User ID=UserId;Password=pwd" rda.InternetUrl = "http://Ourwebsite.co.uk/tfr/sqlcesa30.dll" rda.LocalConnectionString = "Data Source=Program FilesSysdata.sdf" For i As Integer = 0 To RecCount - 1 Try rda.SubmitSql(UpdateRec(i, 0), sCon) Catch Ex As SqlCeException ErrTxt = Ex.ToString End Try Next
Public Shared Function IsConnected() As Boolean Dim request As HttpWebRequest Dim response As HttpWebResponse Try request = CType(WebRequest.Create("http://www.intel.com/"), HttpWebRequest) response = CType(request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse) If response.StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.OK Then response.Close() Return True Else response.Close() Return False End If Catch Ex As WebException Return False End Try End Function
There are rda properties which determine a timeout. How can I use these to stop my program from locking up if the signal is weak?

I need to create a program that will run Client Access to download data from the AS400 to a flat file, then run SQL DTS to import the data into a table for use by another software package.
I've created a bat file that does that using the CA RTOPCB command and the SQL DTSRUN utility. Problem is that it appears that I need to first check to see if there is a table in SQL and if there is to delete it. Otherwise, rather than overlay the existing data in the table it adds to it.
Is there a way to issue a SQL drop table in DOS? Or am I missing something that could be done in SQL?
The DTSRUN is using a local package and CA is using a transaction request.
does anyone know of tools that allow free format screen design, easily programmable data validation and prgramming for use with SQL. I am used to using 4GL languages and want to avoid low level programming. For example to fifind a record and display the details i am used to a line of code that would allow the data field to do the find on to be entered and the next line of code would say find fieldname using index name and the results displayed please say yes !!!
