Import Directory Structure Into SQL Server Database
Jan 23, 2008Hi,
As stated in the subject, I need to import a complete directory structure, from a root folder that I specify into a SQL Server database. To add further complexity, I also need to see what files exist in each directory.
At the end of the day what I am trying to achieve is to populate a table that will essentially have two columns, the filename and the directory that the file resides in. I am running SQL Server 2005.
Has anybody ever done anything like this before using T-SQL?
Thanks in advance.
Understanding SSIS Solution Directory Structure
Apr 8, 2008Say I do File -> New -> Project and make a new project called RedApple under C:. For simplicy, I chose root, but I would designate location for all my SSIS projects. I also check the box "Create directory for solution".
I see that this creates C:RedApple
Under this, I have another RedApple directory with a .sln and .suo files.
In this 2dn RedApple directory, I have .database, .dtproj, and .dtproj.user files.
I deleted the default package1, so I don't have any .dtsx files yet.
As far as the above files are concerned (.sln, .suo, .database, .dtproj, .dtproj.user), I understand these are some kind of system or meta data files and I shouldn't be messing around with them. And that's as far as I need to concern myself on these files.
As I add packages to my project, I see that it is creating .dtsx files under the 2nd RedApple directory. So, I'm thinking these are the package files, one for each package I see in my solution explorer, correct?
MY QUESTION:
Now, I am looking at another SSIS directory tree for a project that I created before I started to pay attention to all this. In this other directory tree, I see that there is also a bin directory, which I do not yet have in C:RedAppleRedApple. In this bin directory I see more .dtsx files, the same ones as I see in the directory above it, but also other .dtsx files that have the names of other packages that I onoce created and deleted along the development of this particular project. What are these .dtsx files?

View 2 Replies View RelatedBest XML Structure For Import Into SQL 2005
May 11, 2007Hi,
I am writing a contingency plan for incase our SQL Server (2005) goes down. Basically when our applicatino is about to write data to the SQL Server it checks the connection. If the connection passes it outputs to SQL, if it fails it generates an XML document detailing the data so that the data can be imported later.
Each XML document needs to define which database and which table needs to be updated/inserted.
So the SQL needs to be able to read a number of XML documents and update the relevant tables according dependent on the data held within the XML; some examples:
<Output>
<Record>
<Database>DW</Database>
<Table>dbo.tblActivity</Table>
<DateTime>11-05-2007 10:03:33.099</DateTime>
<Data>
<strActivityPK>9353|HCR008</strActivityPK>
<strActivityCode>HCR008</strActivityCode>
<strActivityDescription>HCR Complete</strActivityDescription>
<datTarget>2007-05-18</datTarget>
<datActual />
<intMatterIntCode>9353</intMatterIntCode>
<intRecurringActivityFlag>0</intRecurringActivityFlag>
<intETLFlag>0</intETLFlag>
</Data>
</Record>
</Output>
I need SSIS to open this XML, read the Table element and insert or update dbo.tblActivity (in this case) with the data defined in the Data element. If updating, the update should only take place if the DateTime is more recent than a field (datLastUpdate) on the corresponding row in the database.
Can anyone offer some guidance (for example is the XML optimally structured for import by SQL) and advice on how (which tasks to use) to go about setting this SSIS package up.
Ps. thanks to Darren I already have the file selection and open process sorted using a Foreach and some enumeration to select each XML file. It is what to do with the XML afterwards I need get working...
Thanks,

Database Automatically Creates Xxx_Temp Table While Modifying / Updating Table Structure .
Dec 16, 2007Hello friends,
I am new to the SQL Server 2005 development.
From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database
which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database,
i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company.
Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database,
it gives me error saying that,
"There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider".
where xxx is the table name.
I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still
the problem persist.
Thanks in advance. Any help will be appreciated.
Transact SQL :: Dynamically Alter Schema Of Stage Table When Source Table Structure Changed?
Oct 25, 2015we have a table in our ERP database and we copy data from this table into another "stage" table on a nightly basis. is there a way to dynamically alter the schema of the stage table when the source table's structure is changed? in other words, if a new column is added to the source table, i would like to add the column to the stage table during the nightly refresh.

Aug 14, 2015Below is my table structure. And I am inserting data from other temp table.

DELETE

I don't want to create this #rev table so that i can avoid the delete statement. But data should not affect. Can i rewrite the above as below:
SELECT [Cusip], [sponfID], GroupSeries, [tran], [AddDate], [SetDate], [PoolNumber], [Aggregate], [Price], [NetAmount], [Interest],

This table structure does not include anything about accounts and item 4) making materials from 1 or more other materials (E.G., Concrete).
Any hints how to incorporate these outstanding items?

Hi,
I have one field "Status" with 15 different types of values. Like 1, 2, 3, 4 .. 15.
Now this Status field contains the values like this:
Id Status
1 1,2
2 3
3 1,2,3
4 13,15
What is the best way to organize this information in SQLServer table?
My idea is Create one table with the following volumns: ID, Status1, Status2, Status3, ... Status14, Status15.
Now the above data look like this:
Id Status1 Status2 Status3 ... Status13 Status14 Status15
1 1 1 0 0 0 0
2 0 0 1 0 0 0
3 1 1 1
4 0 0 0 1 0 1
So, In future If they add new column they can easily add column like status16.
And status table look like this
Status
StatusID Description
1 a
2 b
..
15
Thanks in advance
Question On Table Structure
Jun 24, 2007All,On my aspx page i have 2 sets of checkboxlists, each with a number of items and i am storing that info in my db. currently i have my table set up this way: InfoID--PK autoUserID-intCheckBoxList1ID-intCheckBoxList2ID-int So a user can select more than 1 item in each checkbox, so this table will contain multiple user-ids and each id from the respective checkboxes. My question is, is there a better way to store this data? I hope this is clear, any input would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Sth Confusing About Table Structure

it has a field called "audience" as the name defines i want to choose who will see my albumsit is integer and as follows:0 value=everyone1=friends only2=private
as i started to write a query for it i came into this problem: for exampleif i write SELECT * FROM UserAlbum where audience=1 then only friends can see the infowhat happens to everyone with value of 0?when i set it to 0, friends should also be able to see the info because it is set for everybody
i noticed i should use "in cluase" like thisSELECT * FROM UserAlbum where audience in ('0','1') > so in this way both everyone and also friends can see the info
or maybe i should add 3 different fields for private,public,friends
it seems to be simple but at the same time harddoes anyone have a suggestion?

My tables so far look like this;
STUDENTS; student_id, student_name
SOCIETIES; society_id, society_name
My question is how can i make the scenario above reflect in my table structure, would i need to create another table, if so what fields or columns should i place in this new table, thank you.
Same Table Structure On Different Databases

We have a situation where we're thinking about adding a new database (db2) with the same Tables used in an existing database (db1). We were hoping to avoid this, but circumstances are forcing us to think about it. Are there any sql tools out there to maintain a dual-db like this? What are the main disadvantages to this?
