Hey,
I have an SSIS package that creates a new file and saves results into that file. However, the requirement has it that I need to create this file on a server residing in a different domain. How can I achieve this in an SSIS package when it is scheduled as a job?
Thanks,

Using ASP.net I need to be able to save and retrieve PDF Files in SQL.I believe the best way to do this is through a BLOB datatype.I have been searching (without luck) for a tutorial/code sample explaining how to do this.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Chrisp.s. I know many prefer to store the files on the server and simply store pointers to the files in SQL, but I need to store the actual files in SQL.

Can someone please brief me on how to save 'pdf' files(there are about 15 files) into a SQL database and retrieve/open it from a datagrid?
I have about 15 pdf files on my webserver and need to save it in the SQL database, so every pdf file saved in the database will have a primary key and the file will be saved either as 'ntext' or 'binary' type...I just have this rough idea.
If someone has a ready code in VB.net then nothing better( i know thats a shortcut :) but it will help me like a tutorial. C# code will do too, I can then convert the code to Vb.net
Thanks a ton.
Hellow, everyone:
I have PDF files on local hard drive, and want to save them to the table in SQL Server. Can I execute by SQL Server? If yes, how to do that.
Someone said to create a table with IMAGE column, and write PDF files to this table. How about details for this way?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help... So I got some insight into what is happening.
My package was having trouble reading files on a remote domain although I mapped the drives locally. This does not cause either running the package to failed either through directly running under VSS, or Execution Utility. But it failed when I try to schedule it through SQL server agent.
I wonder if it is the security context problem and asking for help of how to get around that issue.
So I have a for each file loop container that retrieve filenames on a remote domain which has a different security account then my local account. So how I got around that was to map that drive locally to a drive letter...example W:
then I use W: as my path within my package. I was trying to figure out where I can declare the connection within my package specifically, but don't know if I could do that.
If I run this through VSS or exectuion utility, it works okay. I was able to see W: and all the files on that mapped drive and read in the data.
However, when I schedule it under SQL agent, it doesn't see any files then exited the package as success right the way, because it has nothing to do....
So is there a different between the security context on mapped drive between VSS and my SQL agent? If so...How do I get around that challenge?
BTW, the two domain do not have share accounts between each others. I had to specified and map the drives explicitly.
THANKS!

Hey all,
I know this is a very minor gripe, but I cannot find any way to get SQL Server Management Studio to stop prompting me to save queries. I've poked through all the options without success, but it doesn't seem possible that they would have left this out.
Am I out of luck?
Can anyone tell me what all steps in creating DTS package , how it saves,
how it re executes... what all steps ... and how it makes??
Thanks

Hello --
I'm building an app that will allow users to create their own photo galleries. At this point, I'm planning on storing all photos as byte arrays in SQL server image fields.
Besides the organizational benefit, is there a space benefit to doing this? That is, if I have 1MB of .jpg's, will those same images take up less than 1MB of file space within the database?
One of the reasons I ask is that most hosting plans out there seem to offer more "normal" disk space than is allocated for the database, so I'm trying to make a best plan to accommodate what will probably end up being the biggest disk space consumer in my app (the photos, that is).
Any other recommendations re: this scenario (hosting, best practices) are appreciated.
TIA,
Eric
when i create a new stored proc, i say "CREATE PROCEDURE [sprocName]"
but the next time i edit the stored proc, it hasnt changed to "ALTER ..."
I manually change it to ALTER, and run it, and close it, and it reverts back to "CREATE..."
Is there some sort of privelage i have to enable? Has anyone encountered this before?
Help guys, please :-S
Also, if you know of a better place where i can post this thread, please let me know
Hi,
Recently, I started to move more databases from SQL Server 2000 to 2005, well the Stored Procedures in 2005 is hard to handle.
First of all, I created the new SP in Object Explorer, the "New Stored Procedure" query just created a new name under the Stored Procedures folder, then I have to re-open it to put in TSQL code.
After I put in the code in the new SP, if I click "Save", the File
Manager comes out to let me to save in a physical location (C: or D: or Network place...). But after I close and open the new SP, the code I put in there is not really in the new SP.
I know that I have to "Execute" the SP in order to save the change. But the problem is I don't want to run the code at this step, the SP is to get a lot of data transactions, I'll setup a "Job" to do this.
So, the question is: Is this the way to create and save a new SP? Is there any other way to save the code changes in the SP WITHOUT "Execute" it?
Please give me any advise, article or links to read.
Thanks.
Hi,
I'm just starting off in SSIS and have a question that I can't find an answer to...
I'm loading in a number of files (in separate Data Flows) and performing some transformations on them before merging them back together. What I'm not sure about is what I should be doing with the data at the end of each of my "Import Data From XXXX Flat File" Data Flows. Am I better off using OLE DB Destinations (or SQL Server Destinations) and saving this intermediate data to temporary tables, or am I better off using a Raw File Destinations and saving this intermediate data to files? Or is there, perhaps, a better option that I'm currently unaware of?
If the Raw File Destination is the way to go, then isn't there a maintenance issue with cleaning up all the files created? And will there not be a management issue to ensure that there is sufficient disc space available on the drive you are saving to?
I'm a bit confused and overwhelmed by SSIS at the moment, so any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Lawrie.

We have the followoing:
-A "master domain" AD, a "sub domain" AD, a trust relationship between the two (sub trust master)
-A sql server 2005 on a win server 2003 in "sub domain" AD
-A linked server to "sub domain" AD
-A linked server login using a "sub domain" admin acccount
-A view to this linked server
-A grant on masterDomain/Domain Users to the database
-A grant on subDomain/Domain Users to the database
-We want all connections done through "Windows Authentication" not "Database Authentication".
Queries on the view work fine using "sub domain" user accounts.
Queries on the view fail using "master domain" user accounts (including master domain admin accounts)
"Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "ADsDSOObject" for linked server "ADSI" reported an error. The provider indicates that the user did not have the permission to perform the operation."
All connections are done through "Windows Authentication" not "Database Authentication".
Can we establish cross domain connectivity with "Windows Authentication" ?
Below are details of the implementation:

In SQL Server Mngt Studio in Server Objects/Linked Servers/Providers/ ADSI properties security tab I have:

I have a root domain and child domain.
After using ADMT to migrate the domain user or group into the root domain, when I use enterprise manager to try and change the permissions allocated to that domain user/group, i get the 'Error 15401 NT user or Group not found'.
This is a correct error as the user is now in the root domain, however sql (in sysxlogins) still thinks its in the child domain.
Is there a simpler way, other than collecting the users permissions, deleting the user from SQL then adding back in with the correct domainusername format, then adding the permissions back?
I tried renaming the 'name' in sysxlogins (not recommended) and while that worked, whenever I tried to add the migrated user to another database, the login name was missing and would not resolve.
I believe it is something to do with the SID not matching.
Any ideas on how to fix this ?
we recently migrated from our in-house domain to the Enterprise domain. Everything went smooth except for the fact that I can no longer accept my dBs using my SA or my domain admin account. There is only 1 account I can get into the management studio with but it has no admin privileges, so I can't make any password changes or add accounts. I don't have a test environment so kind of hesitant to experiment with our production system.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up a simple SSRS implementation for a non-profit organization, using two servers hosted at a data center. The first server has SQL Server Standard Edition and Reporting Services installed. I've designed and deployed a number of useful reports on this server.
I was hoping to isolate this first server by installing IIS and SSRS on the second server, have users browse from the Internet to that second server (over SSL, of course), and have all reports served up from databases (and, presumably, the report server database) on the first server.
During the installation of SSRS on the second server, however, I'm being prompted to specify the service account. According to the help text:
"Reporting Services. Service accounts are used to configure a report server database connection. Choose a domain user account if you want to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance. If you are using a local report server database, you can use a domain user account or Local System to run the service."
I believe I want to configure SSRS to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance; therefore, it appears that I need to enter a domain user account. The only problem is, neither server belongs to a domain; they are members of a simple two-server workgroup.
Does SSRS, configured to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance, require a domain? Does what I'm hoping to accomplish require a domain? Creating a two-server domain seems like overkill for this implementation, doesn't it?
I appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks!

Hi,
I try to add multiple files to a raw files. I use a loop for it and set the write option to "create once", so that the file should be created when the package is started and files are appended as they flow to the destination... However I always get an error when I try to add the second file that the raw file already exists... Well, I expect that it exists but I don't expect this error because that's not the intended behaviour!
Is there anything I also have to do to use the raw file as it's described in BOL?

Hello,
I need to create about 1,000 (literately) Excel files that each contain 5 tabs. The data being placed on the tabs will always be the same (meaning the columns are static).
I am fairly advanced at Excel VBA so I can write code that does all the following in Excel (looped 1,000 times):
Open an Excel template
Bring data in from the tables
Filter, then copy-paste the appropriate rows into each tab.
Save the new Excel file.
Email the file to appropriate individual (it is a Microsoft Exchange Server).
As I started this in VBA, I thought that I might be able to do it with SSIS. My concern is I need to have the rows formatted (font, border, etc.) and the number of rows change.
My questions are:
Is it possible to format Excel with SSIS?
Can I email the files even if it is not with an SMTP protocol?
Would SSIS process this data faster then Excel?
Does this approach even make sense? Am I better just doing it with VBA?
Thank you for the help.

Hello,
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...
Any kind of help is very much appreciated!

I have about 1200 sql files in one of my folders. Almost all of these files do data inserts and updates, so they should be run only once. As and when required I have manually ran around 150 of them already. Whenever I ran any of these scripts, I log that file name into a log table in my sql server including the execution time. Since running 1000+ more files takes a lot of time, I want to automate running of these files through a batch file. But I also want to filter the files that are already run.My file list looks like follows.
InsertToOrderTypes.sql
UpdateClientAddress.sql
DeleteDuplicateOrders.sql
InsertToEmailAddress.sql
ConsolidateBrokerData.sql
UpdateInventory.sql
EliminateInvalidOfficeLocations.sql
My log table in the database looks like this.
select * from sqlfileexecutionlog
FileNameRunTimeResult
---------------------
DeleteDuplicateOrders.sql03/12/2014 14:23:45:091Success
UpdateInventory.sql04/06/2014 08:44:17:176Success
Now I want to create a batch file to run the remaining files from my directory to my sql server. I also want to wrap each of these sql file executions in a transaction and log success/failure along with the runtime and filename into sqlfileexecutionlog table. As I add new sql files into this directory, I should be able to run the same batch file and execute only the sql files that have not bee run.
I need to create script that will import large XML files (500 - 7GB) on a daily basis and store the data in a relational db structure.
What is the best and fastest way of importing such files. I have played around with smaller files and found the following.
1. SSIS XML Data Source: It doesn't seem to like the complex elements types and throws out the file.
2. Using Bulk File Import, sorting the file in XML variable and using XQuery to parse the file: This works but it can't take a file more than 2GB in size, so I can't use this method.
3. C# + XML Serialization: This also works, but seems to be terribly slow. I open the DB connection once, so it doesn't open and close for each db call, but still seems like it takes a long time.
how to import large XML quickly in a relational table structure?
I was in the process of creating additional TempDB.ndf files, and received an error saying they already exist. I checked the location and it was empty, nothing to see here. So I looked in sys.master_files and there are several tempdb files listed in various locations, all of which come up empty.
So the files are listed as online in sys.master_files, but they do not exist on the server. I restarted SQL services but it did not change anything.
