I am creating a 2005 SSIS Package with multiple data flows with source data based on the XML Source and a XSD Schema that we have created. These data flows load data from XML into different tables in our data warehouse for order data so the XSD Schema has several hierarchies. Because each data flow loads data into one table (I broke it out this way to make the package easier for readability and maintance) and the source for each is based on the XSD hierarchies I receive numerous warnings similar to the following; "Warning: 0x80047076....Removing this unused output column can increase Data Flow task performance." that I would like to remove. However, when I un-check the box to remove those output columns (which leaves several hierarchies without output columns) I then receive a error similar to the following; "Error: 0xC00470B9 at ....contains no output columns. An asynchronous output must contain output columns."
So the question is how to remove the numerous remove column warnings? I have thought about creating one XML schema for each dataflow, breaking the data flows into different packages, etc. but I am still not exaclty sure how to remove the warnings which should increase the speed of the package overall. Thank you!
I have a column of phone numbers that have formatting such as (xxx)xxx-xxxx, or xxx.xxx.xxxx or xxx.xxx-xxxx; however, not all phone numbers are formatted in this fashion. I need to remove all characters and only leave behind numeric digits to look like xxxxxxxxxx. I have tried select replace(colname,'-','') from table. This does the trick but does not actually change the values in the column. Any help in accomplishing this would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
After I setup the merge replication in SQL SERVER 7.0, there is a rowguid column (datatype uniqueidentifier) inserted into each table in the both the source and destination database.
I need to get rid of the rowguid column in all tables. I deleted the replication, but the column still existed.
Is there an easy way to get rid of all the rowguid column in the database? Thanks for your reponse in advanced.
We all were new at one point.... any help is appreciated.
Objective:
Combining two 49,000 row tables and remove records where there is only 1 column difference. (keeping the specified column value removing the one with a blank.)
Reason:
I have 2 people going through a list, coding a specific column with a single letter value. They both have different progress on each sheet. Hence I am trying to UNION them and have a result of their combined efforts without duplicates.
My progress/where I'm stuck:
Here is my first query/union:
SELECT * FROM [Eds table] UNION SELECT * FROM [Vickis table];
As shown above, I have unioned these 2 tables and my results removed th obvious whole record duplicates, but since 1 column is different on these, a union without criteria considers them unique.....
an example of duplicates that I must remove are as follows:
I have some duplicate values for my query results, about 200 duplicates out of 30000 rows. Of these 200 duplicates I want to keep the ones that have a higher value for... 'UpdatedBatchID'.
SELECT IR.Id as 'ID' , CAST(IR.Priority as varchar) as 'Priority' , IRSupportGroupDN.DisplayName as 'Support Group' , DATEADD(MI,DATEDIFF(mi,GETUTCDATE(),GETDATE()),IR.CreatedDate) as 'Created Date' , DATEADD(MI,DATEDIFF(mi,GETUTCDATE(),GETDATE()),IR.ResolvedDate) as 'Resolved Date' , SLOConfig.DisplayName as 'SLO' , DATEADD(MI,DATEDIFF(mi,GETUTCDATE(),GETDATE()),SLOFact.TargetEndDate) as 'SLO Target' , SLOStatusDN.DisplayName as 'SLO Status' , SLOMetric.DisplayName as 'SLO Metric' , SLOFact.UpdatedBatchId as 'UpdatedBatchID'
I have a requirement where i want to delete the records based on the Date column. I have table which contain the columns like machinename ,lasthardwarescandate
I want to delete the records based on the max(Lasthardwarescandate) i.e. latest one, column where the machine name is duplicate menace it repeats. So how would i remove the duplicate machine names based on the Lasthardwarescandate column(There are multiple entries for the Lasthardwarescandate so i want to fetch the latest date column).
Note: Duplication should be removed based on “Last Hardware Scan” date.
Only latest date should be considered from multiple records for the same system. "

I have a results table that was created from many different sources in SSIS. I have done calculations and created derived columns in it. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to remove duplicate rows from this table without first writing it to a temp sql table and then parsing through it to remove them.
each row has a like key in a column - I would like to remove like rows keeping specific columns in the resulting row based on the data in this key field.
