I need to only receive files via ftp when the file does not exist on my local machine. FIles are being added to the remote location on a weekly basis and they are being downloaded locally. I do not want to download all the files each time. Instead, just download what was not already downloaded. Is there a way to do this? I want to do this using SSIS / ftp task.
I am new to Microsoft Technologies, can any one say how to connect/ retrieve data's from Active Directory through SQL SERVER from scratch. I need with some sample codes.....
I am currently deploying a desktop application that uses SQL Express as a local data source. I load data from other sources into the local database and then use that data for my application. Currently I'm deploying the MDF file into a Data folder within my application folder. I'm finding that most of the users that will be using this application has only power user rights, not admin rights.
My question is this. Is using a data folder within my application folder the ideal place to store this data or is there other more benefitial places within the users computer that would help reduce rights and permissions issues? When users upgrade to Vista will this cause any problems that another location might help me avoid?
I am about updating some fields with local date and time using blw API Quote Private Declare Sub GetLocalTime Lib "kernel32" (lpSystemTime As SYSTEMTIME)
Public Function LocalDateTime()
Dim MyTime As SYSTEMTIME
GetLocalTime MyTime
Debug.Print "The Local Date is:" & MyTime.wMonth & "-" & MyTime.wDay & "-" & MyTime.wYear Debug.Print "The Local Time is:" & MyTime.wHour & ":" & MyTime.wMinute & ":" & MyTime.wSecond
End Function Unquote This works fine however due to it's not really easy for an administrator to keep checking every times wheter local date and time are correctly updated for each front end users computer i would that to reconsider my function and making it to read local date and time from remote SQL Server. my concern is to help administrator to save time as he should only need to ensure that Server is running with correct time...
I have created a File System task which is contained in a Foreach Loop Container. I have .bak files that are populating a directory from a maintenance backup plan.
There is a point where I need to delete the .bak file's after I've zipped them all up.
How do I set the SourceVariable to read through the directory and pick up just the .bak file's in the directory to delete.
Say I have 3 .bak files named:jamesB.bak, jamesG.bak, jamesW.bakIs there a clever way to find out which is the most recent of thesebackup files?? Using sql query analyzer preferably...
Hi there, I have inherited a databse and am building a new website to go wiht it. There is a file upload page which will upload images to a directory. I need to insert into the database retrieve the id just added then upload the image renaming it in the format locID(QueryString)_ImageID(retrieved from database).jpg The page has a file upload control and a button. I am trying to write my code behind so that when the button is clicked it inserts location id into the images table retrieves Image id. Renames the file and uploads it to the images folder. II think i need to call the routine from another routine for the button click but the signatures are different, where am i going wrong? or for that matter have i been pissing into the wind for the last 4 hours?

I need to get all customer records with the most recent tDate. A customer should never have duplicate tDate records, as only one record per day is allowed per customer, yet there somehow there are duplicates. Given this, I need to get the record with the Max date and Max ID. the ID column is an auto-incrementing Identity column.Below is the code without the Max ID column logic
SELECT tCustID, MAX(tDate) AS tDate--get MAX tDate records FROM table1 GROUP BY tCustID

In my script task I have the following code. The task I'm trying to accomplish is: If the filename on FTP can be found in the local archive folder of e: drive then show message "FileAlreadyThere" (I will ultimatley change it to do nothing); if the filename on FTP cannot be found in the local archive folder of e: drive then transfer the file to the local package folder on d: drive.
While the script task is executing I was watching it closely, but the problem i saw is that: If some files on FTP are already in local archive folder and some are not, then it the files which are already in the archive folder are dumped to the package folder; then after that the files which are not in the archive folder are then dumped to the package folder. But I only want the new files on FTP to be transferred to the package folder for further processing.
Then after this is finished, I saw all the files in the package folder are refreshed one after another, after the first round of refresh the second round starts, after the second round finishes it then stopped. I saw it refreshes itself because the 'Date Modified' of the file changes. And I saw the script task turned green.
I don't see how the code below produced this result. Something is wrong in the logic of the loop? Anyone has any idea why it's behaving the way it is now? And how to change the code to accomplish what I want? Thanks a lot!!

I am creating some applications for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices to be used internally at our company. Each device will run several home grown applications that will all share the same common SQL Mobile database.
What I am wondering is whether or not there is a standard path where such a database is typically stored in Windows Mobile 5.0. I see a folder called Application Data. Is that what it is for, or is that one for something else? I'm not real familiar with the layout of the Pocket PC in general. Could someone tell me where vendors normally put their database file(s)?
I did something stupid. I was messing around with a file DSN and deleted it. I can't seem to recreate it either. I "set the directory" in the ODBC dialogue to a location I liked better and moved the file DSN there. It didn't work when I tried to use the applications on my system later on (huh, shooting self in foot...). (using vista ultimate 64-bit). One of the databases is SQL 2005 Express, and the other is an Access database.
Maybe I lost all my ODBC connections? Neither databases work now... When I am in the File DSN tab and click "Add" I have only two drivers showing up (SQL Native Client and SQL Server) in the Create New Data Source window. Do I need to add an ODBC driver? Any better documentation on File DSNs? (or using the ODBC Administrator)... the help documentation is REALLY lacking!!!
I have a sql compact table that stores a series of directory paths like so: C:F1BackupadministratorCDatakit.zip__--1-07272007124351.F1O C:F1BackupadministratorCDataDeploySMD_FSWsetup.exe__--1-11292007122443.F1O C:F1BackupadministratorCDataDeploySMD_FSWSMD_FSW.application__--1-11292007122443.F1O
Is there a way in sql that I can get just the directory name so the results would look like this: C:F1BackupadministratorCData C:F1BackupadministratorCDataDeploy C:F1BackupadministratorCDataDeploy
Also, is there a way to just get the file names so the results would look like this: kit.zip__--1-07272007124351.F1O setup.exe__--1-11292007122443.F1O SMD_FSW.application__--1-11292007122443.F1O
I've seen some examples with Sql server but they use the reverse function which is not available in sql compact.
Have a table that list item#, date the standard cost went into effect and the standard cost. How do I find the difference in StdCost on the last EffectiveDate and second to last EffectiveDate. 5.59 (01/05/2015) minus 5.81 (09/29/.014) = -.22.
Thanks for reading and helping me out of this problem. I have a directory where I have text file with date as a file name, thus all the files have different file names.
But I want to do is import all the text files into sql server 2000 ,right now i have a DTS package which i have up upload all the text files manually , I do not know how to loap it so that it DTS funcation check all the files in a directory and import it into database.
I will appreciate if anyone can help me out of this .
Hi all, I have scheduled a package to export data from the table to the execl file in the local directory, it work fine. However, when the next time you execute the package it give error on 'file already exists'. Prephap this is due to previously already created a file in the directory.
I try to use drop option in the ssis during creating the package for export, but the result still the same. I do not know the drop option is working, can someone tell me is that working fine? if not what is the solution or possible cause.
I want to write a stored procedure or a simple T-SQL snippet that takes a parameter "Directory Path" and gives me the name and datetimestamp associated with each of the files within that directory. I can not use xp_cmdshell since it is not allowed. CLR integration is not enabled on the server either.
Is there any other way at all to achieve this directly from SQL Server using T-SQL?
We have a database called Itemphotos. In this table is a field called 'PID' picture ID. We have a photos directory with files like 2181.jpg, 2182.jpg, 2184.jpg. The number is the ID number for the picture of the part. If a record exist in the database based on the PID "Primary Key" , check the directory to make sure the jpg file exist. Here is the code I have so far.
use [ItemPhotos] select pid from dbo.itemdata declare @file_path nvarchar(500) declare @file_exists int set @file_path = 'av-sql2c$inetpubphotosmacolaphotos' + [itemdata].[pid]
i am trying to run an exe using t-sql command and even through job, but it is giving me issues. But if i double click on the exe it runs fine.
For example i created a bat file just to make a directory - mkdir d:example double clicking it, a folder is created BUt through EXEC xp_cmdshell "D:ew.bat" it gives me error - 'D:ew.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
and when i do with the job with command - @command=N'idhimahajanD$ew.bat', it gives an error on execution - Executed as user: NT ServiceSQLAgent$PAXAS. The process could not be created for step 1 of job 0x2FCDDE36F160CD4688D2ACE1D748A99E (reason: Access is denied). The step failed.
I'm having a bit of a problem implementing a File System Task to Create a directory and would appreciate some help if possible.
I want to create a date directory so I can move files to once they are imported successfully. The date portion for the directory comes from the import file whose name is variable and in the format of PerfLog_<yyyymmdd>.aud. So, in essence, if I am processing a file named Perflog_20060913.aud, when I am done processing it I want to create a directory c:myprog20060913 and move my processed file there.
I am getting a backup file in default directory by using this script
Code Block BACKUP DATABASE CPHONE TO DISK = 'CPHONE.Bak' -- send to default pathaway WITH FORMAT, NAME = 'Full Backup of CPHONE'
Is there any way to find where is the default path of the SQL server, in order to show to the user from a VB program in which pathway the database back up is stored
basically what we need is a query that will allow me to provide a directory and a variable for number of days for instance 1 day old and I want to be able to able to delete all files older than that date and of course I want to be able exclude files of a particular type where I would give it a wild card statement for example say i wanted to save all csv files i would have the wild card say <> '%.csv'
This delete's the directory content as well as sub directory content! Is their a way i can just set it to delete the files in the said directory and not sub directories?
I am adding a file to a filegroup on a remote system, and i don't know the direcotry structure of that machine, how can i provide the path for FILENAME param. :eek:
ALTER DATABASE TESTDB ADD FILE (NAME = N'TESTFILE', FILENAME = N'physicalfilepath.ndf') TO FILEGROUP TESTFILEGROUP
