How To Insert Only New Records (not Already In Destination)
Feb 14, 2006
Greetings from a SSIS newbie still on the learning curve...
I have a SQL query OLE DB Source that yields a result set that I'd like to put into a SQL Server Destination, but only those records that don't already exist in the destination.
Is there a recommended (read: easy) way to accomplish this? Perhaps a handy transformation?
I have tried to incorporate a subquery in my source query along the lines of:
SELECT fields FROM table1 WHERE keyfield NOT IN (SELECT keyfield from table2)
which works in design time but fails at the server with a cryptic:
"Error: Unable to prepare the SSIS bulk insert for data insertion."
and
"Error: component "<component>" (16) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202071."
Don't mean for that to cloud the issue, though. I would appreciate any help given.
We have a SQL 2000 DB1 ( publisher) which is replicated using transactional replcation onto the secondary server DB2 ( subscriber). we have identity columns on the DB1 and we created those tables with 'not for replication' clause. we skipped the following errors in the replication profile '2601:2627:8102:20598'. on DB2 ( the subscriber ) some records are missing in some tables . ( I verified this with record count differences for some tables in both the servers DB1 & DB2.
How to find out what are all the records missing & the cause.
I have listed the msrepl_errors table on DB1 , distribution databases all I'm seeing there are error code 8102 , unable to update identity column.
Short Question: How do I delete all records from a destination table prior to appending new data to that table?
I am working with a SQL database that was migrated from MS Access. All relationships, primary keys, and identity columns have been set identically to the MS Access database values. The MS Access database is still being used as the database of record until the SQL database is fully functional with front-end, etc.
I want to delete the information stored in all the SQL tables, and then append the MS Access values to the SQL tables. I was able to write delete and append queries in MS Access to correctly transfer data to the SQL tables. However, I would prefer doing this through SSIS because I have several other sources of data to move to a SQL Server database and most of those other sources are not a MS Access database.
Due to relational entegrity settings, I need to delete the records from 8 tables in a specific order. I have tried independent control objects for each of the 8 tables with data flow objects of either "OLE DB Command" or "OLE DB Source" with the SQL command as "Delete From TableName". Results of the debug indicate everything is "green" but no records were deleted fromt the tables.
I am having a brain-fart or something. I need help!!!
I'm developing a transform that selects data from a SQL script, then transforms that data, and then needs to update the data back into the same source table. The transform is working great, but I can't figure out the update table part. I've got it adding the transformed records to the table, but that's not what I need to do. I need to update the table with the changed data.
Any sample code or blog links would be greatly appreciated!
I am developing an ETL wherein the requirement is to do an incremental load and at the same time, if there is a record that got deleted in the Source delete it from the destination too, makes sense.
The approach am doing is, pick data from the SRC and Destination, pass it onto a Merge join component, do a Full Outer join, then pass the rows to a conditional split. Newly Added records and updated records I can handle, how do I handle the Deleted records?
Am I correct in the way I am doing or there is something better to handle this?
I have a requirement like, i need to save all the records from my Flat File on Monthly basis to my database table. In the next month, the flat file may be added with 10-20 records and also some updates happened to my old records. Though the faltfile is same for each month, the changes are occured in some records and also added with few records.
So when i am loading this data in to Database table, i need to just update the changed records and also needs to add the new records. I don't need to touch the remaining records.
How can i do that in SSIS 2005 using different data flow tasks ?
Writing a Control flow that inserts records worked fine, using lookups and all, but i can't find somewhere an example on how to update records of even delete records.
I have been trying to solve the locking problem from past couple of days. Please help mee!!
Scenario: -------------- I have a SSIS package in which 2 data flow tasks. 1st data flow task deletes records from a 5 tables and the 2nd data flow task should insert records into 1 of the five tables after the success of 1st data flow task. This scenario runs in Transacation.
The above scenrio in the 2nd data flow task hangs in runtime. It does not complete. with sp_who2 command i could see that there is an intent share lock(LK_M_IS) on the table and the status is SUSPENDED.
I dont know how to come out of this locking. Please help.
I am trying to migrate database from old structure to new structure usign SSIS.
The table in new db have extra field that i need to assign it using variable. this is because i have few customer that having different variable value. (meaning for 1 customer, the variable will be fix for all the tables in the database)
my question, without using the Execute Sql Task, can i assign the variable into the the old db destination?
eg my data flow Task is : OLE Db Source - Derived Column - OLE DB Destination.
Example data
Old structure (key = txnID) --------------------- TxnID ChequeNo Bank (chq Bank - Bank in Bank) Amount
I am new to integration services. I am trying to a build a data warehouse and need to be able to insert new data as well as update data that has changed. I am getting the data in a flat file and need to import it into SQL 2005. I saw some post on www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?311 but I did the example is for OLE DB component. I am not sure how to achieve this using a text file as source. Any help would be greatly appreicated.
I tried to port 10000 records using DTS. After porting of 9900 records I got an error and comes out without any result. But I want to keep the records which has been ported till the error occured. Plz help me.
On my site users can register using ASP Membership Create user Wizard control. I am also using the wizard control to design a simple question and answer form that logged in users have access to. it has 2 questions including a text box for Q1 and dropdown list for Q2. I have a table in my database called "Players" which has 3 Columns UserId Primary Key of type Unique Identifyer PlayerName Type String PlayerGenre Type Sting
On completing the wizard and clicking the finish button, I want the data to be inserted into the SQl express Players table. I am having problems getting this to work and keep getting exceptions. Be very helpful if somebody could check the code and advise where the problem is??
To match the answers to the user I get the UserId and insert this into the database to.protected void Wizard1_FinishButtonClick(object sender, WizardNavigationEventArgs e) { SqlDataSource DataSource = (SqlDataSource)Wizard1.FindControl("InsertArtist1"); MembershipUser myUser = Membership.GetUser(this.User.Identity.Name); Guid UserId = (Guid)myUser.ProviderUserKey;String Gender = ((DropDownList)Wizard1.FindControl("PlayerGenre")).SelectedValue; DataSource.InsertParameters.Add("UserId", UserId.ToString());DataSource.InsertParameters.Add("PlayerGenre", Gender.ToString()); DataSource.Insert();
I used bulk insert to insert a txt file into a table. It works fine. (see code below) Now, one txt file with column's name at first row and has about 200 columns. There is no table created before. How to code to create a destination table based on first row of the txt file so that bulk insert will work for that txt file?
BULK INSERT #MBRACCT FROM 'c:order.TXT' WITH ( FIELDTERMINATOR = '|', FIRSTROW = 2, ROWTERMINATOR = '' )
I will be using execute SQL task to fetch the records from source,after this wanna use For each loop to access each record one at a time,perform some trnsformations and insert that record into destination.
Help me in accessing the data stored in the Variable(SQL task) in Dataflow task of foreach loop.
I've searched around and can't find any references to the problem I'm having. I'd appreciate any ideas or input.
I'm trying to use the OLEDB Destination for an insert at the end of a long data flow. I need to parameterize the input, and for some of the columns I need to use literal values instead of parameters. It seems like this should be the most common thing in the world, but I'm at a loss to get it to work.
I type in the SQL statement just like I would with an OLEDB Command transformation, with the ? character for the appropriate columns in the VALUES clause. However, when I try to use Parse Query I get this error:
"Parameter Information cannot be derived from SQL statements. Set parameter information before preparing command."
OK, so I start searching around for ways to set the parameter information. Nada. On the Mappings tab the parameter list is empty. I check MSDN and it says this:
"If you have entered a parameterized query by using ? as a parameter placeholder in the query text, use the Set Query Parameters dialog box to map query input parameters to package variables."
Set Query Parameters dialog box? I don't see this anywhere. What am I missing?
The options with the SQL Server Destination seem even more limited, as I don't see any way to use a SQL statement or stored procedure.
For the moment I'm going to stub this off with an OLEDB Command transformation with a downstream Trash desintation, but hopefully that's only going to be temporary.
I am having a little problem with a simple package and I do not know if this is a known issue or that I am missing something.
I have a data flow task, a simple one, with an oledb source pulling data, using a select statement, from a sql server 2005 instance, and an ole db destination pointing to a table in a sql server 2000 instance. Both intances are standard edition. The table in the destination has a column which allow null values and has also a default constraint (getdate()), and this column is not present in the source. When I map the columns in the destination, I leave this column as "ignore", not being mapped to any column from the source. The problem is that when I execute the task, SSIS is trying to insert NULL value into this column, so the package fail with the error "can not insert NULL value into column myColumn". I wonder why is it trying to insert NULL value if the column is not mapped to any column from the source.
Is this a known issue or I am nissing something in the settings?
If the destination table has rowversion or identity columns, there is no problem ar all. I ignore those columns in the mapping and SQL Server feeds them as expected.
Dear all - iam facing a problem to insert data to paradox table by using OLE DB Destination ,
Briefly i built a simple data flow the has OLE DB Source from paradox Table1 and it linked to OLE DB Destination for another Paradox Table2 (i use query to get the table2 data in OLE DB Destination because it refuse to get data Directly) .
The problem that when i start debugging an error raise as the following:
Error: 0xC0202009 at Data Flow Task 1, OLE DB Destination [554]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E09.
Error: 0xC0047022 at Data Flow Task 1, DTS.Pipeline: The ProcessInput method on component "OLE DB Destination" (554) failed with error code 0xC0202009. 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.
Error: 0xC0047021 at Data Flow Task 1, DTS.Pipeline: Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0202009.
i hope someone help soon because i need to handle this problem as soon as possible thanks , Maylo
Greetings. I have been trying to develop an SSIS package that updates external data (Visual FoxPro tables) from SQL Server 2005. I have tried this various ways: using various Data Flow task components that flow to an OLEB Destination; using an Execute T-SQL Task; and even trying Management Studio interactively with the OpenDataSource('vfpoledb', etc.) statement. For each of these techniques, I have no problem performing a SELECT from the VFP data. Also, I have no problems performing an INSERT of new records using any of these techniques. However, both UPDATE and DELETE of existing records fail.
Is it possible the the OLE DB driver doesn't support UPDATE and DELETE operations? It appears that I'm not allowed to change or delete existing records, only add new ones. Or, are there other techniques I can be trying?
I am aware that updating FoxPro data can be performed by pulling the data from SQL Server into FoxPro. For our purposes, it would be more convenient if the processes could be initiated and managed from the SQL Server side of things instead.
After: If (Row.RegenerateXML_IsNull()) Then Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RegenerateXML",System.DBNull.Value) Else Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RegenerateXML", Row.RegenerateXML) End If
Which is great but it does turn 1 line into 5 lines. I have 20 parameters which takes up 20 lines of code which will now be 20 x 5 = 100 lines of code.
My question is :
Is there a better way to write this code without having to take up so many lines?
I'm seeing some strange behavior from the OLE DB Destination when using the "fast load" access mode and setting the "Maximum insert commit size".
When I do not set the "Rows per batch" or the "Maximum insert commit size", the package I'm working with inserts 123,070 rows using a single "insert bulk" statement. The data seems to flow through the pipeline until it gets to the OLE DB Destination and then I see a short pause. I'm assuming the pause is from the "insert bulk" statement handling all of the rows at once.
When I set the "Rows per batch" option but leave the "Maximum insert commit size" alone, I generally see the same behavior -- a single "insert bulk" statement that handles all 123,070. In this case, however, the "insert bulk" statement has a "ROWS_PER_BATCH" option appended to the statement that matches the "Rows per batch" setting. This makes sense. I'm assuming the "insert bulk" then "batches" the rows into multiple insert statements (although I'm unsure of how to confirm this). This version of the "insert bulk" statement appears to run in about the same time as the case above.
When I set the "Maximum insert commit size" option and leave the "Rows per batch" statement alone, I see multiple "insert bulk" statements being executed, each handling the lower of either the value I specify for the "Maximum insert commit size" or the number of rows in a single buffer flowing through the pipeline. In my testing, the number of rows in a buffer was 9,681. So, if I set the "Maximum insert commit size" to 5,000, I see two "insert bulk" statements for each buffer that flows into the OLE DB Destination (one handling 5,000 rows and one handling 4,681 rows). If I set the "Maximum insert commit size" to 10,000, I see a single "insert bulk" statement for each buffer that flows into the OLE DB Destination (handling 9,681 rows).
Now the problem. When I set the "Maximum insert commit size" as described in the last case above, I see LONG pauses between buffers being handled by the OLE DB Destination. For example, I might see one buffer of data flow through (and be handled by one or more "insert bulk" statements based on the "Maximum insert commit size" setting), then see a 2-3 minute pause before the next buffer of data is handled (with its one or more "insert bulk" statements being executed). Then I might see a 4-5 minute pause before the next buffer of data is handled. The pause between the buffers being passed through the OLE DB Destination (and handled via the "insert bulk" statements) is sometimes shorter, sometimes longer.
Using Profiler, I don't see any other activity going on within the database or within SQL Server itself that would explain the pauses between the buffers being handled by the OLE DB Destination and the resulting "insert bulk" statements...
Can anyone explain what is going on here? Is setting the "Maximum insert commit size" a bad idea? What are the differences between it and the "Rows per batch" setting and what are the recommended uses of these two options to try to improve the performance of the insert (particularly when handling millions of rows)?
In a Data Flow Task, I have an insert that occurs into a SQL Server 2000 table from a fixed width flat file. The SQL Server table that the data goes into is accessed through an OLE DB connection manager that uses the Native OLE DBMicrosoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server.
In the OLE DB Destination, I changed the access mode from Table or View - fast load to Table or View because I needed to implement OLE DB Destination Error Output. The Error output goes to a SQL Server 2000 table that uses the same connection manager.
The OLE DB Destination Editor Error Output 'Error' option is configured to 'Redirect' the row. 'Set this value to selected cells' is set to 'Fail component'.
Was changing the access mode the simple reason why the insert from the flat file takes so much longer, or could there be other problems?
I want to insert data calling a stored procedure and call this from a Data Flow destination object. Is it possible?
I understand that Ole Db Command transformation object can call stored procedure, but that will not rollback in the event of error in the middle.
I understand that Ole Db Destination object will rollback in middle of import, but I don't see how to do the insert by calling stored procedure. "Sql Command" option in Ole Db Destination object does not seem to present solution to the problem.
Am I missing something here or is Ssis / Microsoft demanding that Insert stored procedure not be used when using Data Flow destination object to insert data into target table?
i was used the Follwing DataFlow for my Package.using Oracle 8i
FalteFile Source -------------> Data Conversion --------------->OLEDB Destination (Oracle Data table)
using above control flow to map the Source file to Destination . When i run the SSIS Package teh Folwing Error i got
"Truncation Occur maydue to inserting data from data flow column "columnName " with a length of 50 "
regarding this Error i i understood its for happening Data Length . so that i was changed the Source Column Length Exactly Match with the The Destination table.
still i am getting this Error. pls any one give me a solution . SHould i Change the DataType also?
I am using SSIS integration between two database. Both databases are sql server 2008. using many integration but getting problem in two only only two integration giving problem, both are executing perfectly and out put also not showing any error.
but destination table not inserted/updated anything.
first issue integration is using data flow task with oledb source and destination. second one is using execute task with for-eachloop container.
1. Flat File Source 2. Conditional Split, Case Good = !ISNULL(KEY) Case Error = ISNULL(KEY) 3. Case Good -> Writes to Good Flat File (with timestamp in the title) 4. Case Error -> Writes to Error Flat File (with timestamp in the title)
Most job runs have no errors but the error file is created as a zero byte file anyway. If there are no error records I don't want the error file created. How might I accomplish this?
Firstly thanks a lot Phil and Jamie on such a helpful article on "Checking to see if a record exists and if so update else insert"
Here is my question
I have about 10 tables and there respective working tables For examples: A, B, C, D, E.... and WorkA, WorkB, WorkC....
Notes: 1) When I execute a package these work table (Work A, WorkB ...) get populated with certain rows say about 5 2) Its not that all the work table are populated on every execution. 3) Tables A, B, C... have thousands of records in it. 4) Work table is of same structure as there parent table..Like WorkA same structure as A..... 5) The table A and WorkA and as on... are linked with a KeyID
Now I want to build a SSIS package that can 1) Get the the data from these multiple tables(WorkA, WorkB...) 2) Process each row of these tables WorkA, WorkB.. 3) Depending upon the KEYID of WorkA., WorkB.. etc Update a Flag colunm of table A, B...where the KeyID is equal to KeyID of Work Table 4) After updating insert that processed row of Work A, WorkB ...into Table A, B..
I can do this if I have one source table and one destination table. Here i have some say 10 randomly source tables to respective random destination . All I could think of creating 10 different packages as adviced in Jamie's article. But I am sure there might some other alternative.
Can somebody advice me the best practice of doing this. Thanks a lot in advance
I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.
I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.
I hope someone can help me work through this.
Thanks in advance,

Hi, I was wondering how I can complete a column (which doesnt have an input one) with data. For example:
I have a sql query which bring data of 3 columns
ID | FISRT NAME | LAST NAME 1 MIKE MORGAN 2 SARA JOHANES
So, I will insert that data in a FLAT FILE CONNECTION MANAGER, which I configured with 3 columns and I did the corresponding mapping in the FLAT FILE DESTINTATION.
Now, If I add one more column in the FLAT FILE CONNECTION MANAGER, I will not have it mapped to a input one, obviously. So, what I need is to add one more column to the flat file destination and complete it with zeros values in it.
Probably I can solve this part by introducing a DERIVED COLUMN and there I can configure the zeros that I want to add to the column. But I'm not sure if I can do that without having a input column. So, the question will be, how can I add one column to a flat file which doesnt have a input and introduce any value that I want to it? Hope I was clear Thanks for your help.
1. Inserting records from front end using begin trans ... commit trans 2. By using stored procedures ? - Is there any begin trans .. commit trans in stored procedure ? If so how to use it.
I am trying to insert 200 records on a table that has two fields: TagID and Name. TagID is a Unique Identifier and is not generated in the table. I created some code but is not working and I am a little bit confused:
declare@i integer select @i = 1
while @i <= 800 begin insert into Tags (TagID, [name]) values(newid(), select ('Tag ' + right('000' + convert(varchar(3), @i), 3))) select@i = @i + 1 end
