Integration Services :: Merge Join Transformation - No Output Rows Redux

Aug 4, 2009

I am using SSIS in SQL Server Enterprise 2005.  I have two OLE DB data sources from two disparate databases (IBM DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server), some columns from each of which are to be included in the merged output results.  I have noted the various requirements in the forum postings with regard to sorting the OLE DB sources and specifying the output source columns as being sorted, as well as the requirement that the join fields in the two sources be close/exact matches.  Yet, when I run this in VS, while the work area reflects the expected number of rows being input into the Merge Join transformation, no count is reflected as output from that transformation into the final destination table.Specifically, my two data sources (IBM DB2 and MS SQL) are configured as follows:

IBM DB2 contains an SQL statement that uses Cast operations to create the result columns.and an ORDER BY clause to ensure that the output is sorted by the desired two columns..  The OLE DB source property setting for IsSorted is set to true; the Output Columns folder column definitions for "key_ source_dtsy" and "key_source_dtrt" have their SortKeyPosition properties set to 1 and 2, respectively.  Those field are both defined as data type DT_STR, with lengths of 4 and 2, respectively.  Below is the Path metadata from the Data Flow Path editor from the path from this source:

IBM DB2 source"Name" "Data Type" "Precision" "Scale" "Length" "Code Page" "Sort Key Position" "Comparison Flags" "Source
Component""ID_CODE" "DT_STR" "0" "0" "10" "1252" "0" "" "Source F0005 User Defined Codes""CODE_DESCR_1" "DT_STR" "0" "0" "30" "1252" "0" "" "Source F0005 User Defined Codes""CODE_DESCR_2" "DT_STR" "0" "0" "30" "1252" "0" "" "Source F0005 User Defined Codes""key_source_dtsy" "DT_STR" "0" "0" "4" "1252" "1" "" "Source F0005 User Defined Codes""key_source_dtrt" "DT_STR" "0" "0" "2" "1252" "2" "" "Source F0005

User Defined Codes:

MS SQL contains an SQL statement that takes the columns as they are in the MS SQL table (no Cast operations needed); it also uses an ORDER BY clause to ensure the output is sorted by the join columns.  The OLE DB source property setting for IsSorted is set to true; the Output Columns folder columns for "key_source_dtsy" and "key_source_dtrt" have their SortKeyPosition properties set to 1 and 2, respectively.  Those field are both defined as data type DT_STR, with lengths of 4 and 2, respectively.  Below is the Path metadata from the Data Flow Path editor from the path from this source:

MS SQL source"Name" "Data Type" "Precision" "Scale" "Length" "Code Page" "Sort Key Position" "Comparison Flags" "Source Component""id_code_name" "DT_I2" "0" "0" "0" "0" "0" "" "Source CodeName in db dwVdFY""key_source_dtsy" "DT_STR" "0" "0" "4" "1252" "1" "" "Source CodeName in db dwVdFY""key_source_dtrt" "DT_STR" "0" "0" "2" "1252" "2" "" "Source CodeName in db dwVdFY"

The Merge Join transformation specifies an INNER JOIN using the columns named "key_source_dtsy" and "key_source_dtrt" from the respective data sources.I know there are alternative ways of accomplishing my intent (Lookup, port MS SQL table to IBM DB2 so join can occur in SELECT statement, etc.; however, I'd like to use this functionality and assume that it should work.

Integration Services :: Merge Inner Join Gives Different Output Based On Sort Key?

Sep 23, 2015

In the first image as can be seens i have 2 different data sources and then they are being joined using "Merge Inner Join". The "sort" is on BusinessEntityID column of Person table and "Sort1" is on "PersonID" of Customer table. The merge join of these 2 result in 19,119 rows.

On the other hand, if i use single data source and use a query with inner join on  tables  used in the first image (ie. 2 tables being used in 2 different data sources) as depicted in second image. Also,  since merge cannot operate without SortKey i have defined TerritoryID as sort key in the advanced editor. The number of rows i get after this is "10,274". My select query was :

SELECT
P.BusinessEntityID,
P.PersonType,
P.Title,
P.FirstName,
P.MiddleName,
P.LastName,
P.Suffix,
C.TerritoryID
FROM stg.Person AS P
INNER JOIN stg.Customer AS C ON C.CustomerID = P.BusinessEntityID
ORDER BY C.TerritoryID;

According to me, it should have been the same as in first case i am using merge inner join and in second case i am using SELECT query with inner join. Upon drilling down i found that in the first case , my sort keys are BusinessEntityID  and PersonID, if i modify this to CustomerID  and BusinessEntityID as this is my join condition (in ithe inner join query shown above), i get the desired output. What i was wondering was, how  the sort order change the Join Condition?

Merge Join - No Output Rows

Apr 24, 2008

Hi,

I have a problem with a Merge Join providing no output (when it should have 1890 rows). My Data Flow Task has 4 OLE Data Sources, 3 Multicasts, and 1 OLE Data Destination. I am experiencing the problem near the end of my data flow where two Multicasts create two parallel flows of data (see Level 1 below). I have two Merge Joins which join one leg from each multicast with a leg from the other multicast (see Level 2 below). Then the two remaining legs use a Merge to get my destination output (see Level 3 below).

I am experiencing my problem with the Merge Join (input A2, B2) --> (output C2) transformation. The Merge Join providing output C1 appropriately outputs 1890 rows, but C2 outputs 0 rows. Both Merge Joins are identical. The data is identically sorted prior to entering the problematic Merge Join and a DataViewer (Grid) verified that the data is appropriately entering in. Merge Join (input A2, B2) --> (output C2) has 667 rows as input A2 and 1890 rows as input B2 (using an inner join, just like the other merge join), but C2 baffles me with 0 rows of output (when it too should have 1890). I receive no Ouput errors and the execution completes showing all green.

Level 1
Multicast (output A1, A2) [667 rows]
Multicast (ouput B1, B2) [1890 rows]


Level 2
Merge Join (input A1, B1) --> (output C1) [1890 rows]
Merge Join (input A2, B2) --> (output C2) [0 rows]

Level 3
Merge (input C1, C2) --> (output D1) [1890 rows]*


I read about mysterious behavior with Merge Joins and have attempted modifying my EngineThreads property to values between 2 and 10, with no luck. Any help/ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Devin

* Should be 3780 rows

Merge Join: Nr Of Output Rows Unchanged When Amount Of Input Changes

May 25, 2007

Dear all,



I created a package that seems to work fine with a small amount of data. When I run the package however with more data (as in production) the merge join output is limites to 9963 rows, no matter if I change the number of input rows.



Situation as follows.



The package has 2 OLE DB Sources, in which SQL-statements have been defined in order to retrieve the data.

The flow of source 1 is: retrieving source data -> trimming (non-key) columns -> sorting on the key-columns.

The flow of source 2 is: retrieving source data -> deriving 2 new columns -> aggregating the data to the level of source 1 -> sorting on the key columns.

Then both flows are merged and other steps are performed.



If I test with just a couple of rows it works fine. But when I change the where-clause in the data source retrieval, so that the number of rows is for instance 15000 or 150000 the number of rows after the merge join is 9963.



When I run the package in debug-mode the step is colored green, nevertheless an error is displayed:

Error: 0xC0047022 at Data Flow Task, DTS.Pipeline: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The ProcessInput method on component "Merge Join" (4703) failed with error code 0xC0047020. 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. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.



To be honest, a few more errormessages appear, but they don't seem related to this issue. The package stops running after some 6000 rows have been written to the destination.



Any help will be greatly appreciated.



Kind regards,



Albert.

Integration Services :: Pass Single Column Of Values From Successful Merge Join To EXECUTE Statement

May 7, 2015

How do I pass a single column of values from a successful merge join to an EXECUTE SQL statement so it can be used with an "IN" criteria of the WHERE clause?  Here's an example of my update statement with two random key values:

UPDATE dbo.MyTable SET MyStatus = 1 WHERE MyPK IN ("XYZ123", "DEF890")

Is this even possible in SSIS, or am I better off using a loop and running the update EXECUTE SQL Statement for each individual key value, as in the following example?

UPDATE dbo.MyTable SET MyStatus = 1 WHERE MyPK = "XYZ123"
UPDATE dbo.MyTable SET MyStatus = 1 WHERE MyPK = "DEF890"

Number Of ROWS Of Output Of Aggregate Transformation Sometimes Doesn't Match The Output From T-SQL Query

Dec 25, 2006

While using Aggregate Transformation to group one column,the rows of output sometimes larger than the rows returned by a T-SQL statement via SSMS.

For example,the output of the Aggregate Transformation may be 960216 ,but the

'Select Count(Orderid) From ... Group By ***' T-SQL Statement returns 96018*.

I'm sure the Group By of the Aggregate Transformation is right!



But ,when I set the "keyscale" property of the transformation,the results match!

In my opinion,the "keyscale" property will jsut affects the performance of the transformaiton,but not the result of the transformation.

Thanks for your advice.

Merge Join Transformation Hangs

Nov 10, 2006

I have serached through this forum, and I could not find the solution.

My SSIS data flow is a simple one. Extracting two tables from Oracle using OLE DB Source , join them together using merge join and loading into a table in SQL server by SQL Server Destination.

I haven't gone through this simple procedure because Merge join always hangs there. Down to further investigation, I found one input (randomly one of two inputs) is always stuck. Sometimes the input is empty, sometimes is about half way.

Is there workround to see what is happening there and to fix this problem?

TIA

Problem Using Merge Join Transformation In Sql Server 2005(SSIS)

Aug 10, 2006

Hi,
 I am pretty new to SSIS. I am transferring some rows from 2 source tables to 1 destination table.
 The 2 source tables have 1000 rows.They act as the 2 inputs to a merge join transformation where i perform the join between the 2 tables based on a couple of fields. But for some reason the output of  the merge join gives me about 1018 rows .Shouldnt the destination also have only 1000 rows?
 How do i solve tis problem?
 
Thanks in advance

Merge Join Output Bug?

Nov 7, 2006

I've run into something that looks like a bug to me but I wanted to run it by the board:

Merge join 2 sorted tables.

Table1: ColumnA : Sort Order 1, ColumnB Sort Order 2

Table2 : ColumnA: Sort Order 1, ColumnB Sort Order 2, ColumnC not sorted

Merge Join the two tables on ColumnA and ColumnB...

Choose the following as output columns

A + B + C = works

C = works

A + C = works

B + C = NOT work.. error message: The column with the SortKeyPosition value of 0 is not valid. It should be 2. 


Basically if you choose one or more of the sorted columns in the output at least one of them has to be the column with Sort position 1 or you'll get that error. 

Is this a bug or intentional?  If you do not have sort column 1 in the output that output could no longer be considered sorted... so perhaps the error is related to that (instead of error I'd expect some warning about the sorting).  Interesting that it lets you choose C only becuase that also makes the output unsorted.

Merge Join - Output 0 Records

Apr 14, 2008

I have a sql statement that joins two tables and I get back a few thousand records when I run it in query tool in management studio.

But when I use SSIS merge join to join the two tables my output is 0 records.

I did sort the key column in both tables by setting 'sortkeyposition' property to 1 in advanced editor for output of both tables.

however the merge join returns nothing to my destination tables. Also I am doing a inner join. The task runs without error but returns nothing as well.. any ideas?

Merge Join - Output Of Lookup As Sorted Field?

I'm doing a data conversion with one of my fields (SUMDWK) from one of the tables that will be used in a merge join. With the new, converted field, I do a look up. From this look up, I want to take a new field FiscalWeekOfYear, and replace the original field, SUMDWK. This is necessary because SUMDWK is one of the sorted fields. In the look up, it is not possible to change the Output Alias. Does anybody know a way around this? Thanks.

Integration Services :: Data Transformation MMDDYYYY To YYYY-MM-DD

I am working on a SSIS Package and I have to do a data transformation but this one is a but tricky. For example

7/6/2015 is my date and when I apply
SUBSTRING(ColumnName,5,4)  + "-" + SUBSTRING(ColumnName,3,1) + "-" + SUBSTRING(ColumnName, 1,1)

I get 2015-6-7 which is good

But then when the date is like 10/12/2015 I would have to modify my code

My question is, Is their anything I can add to the code to make the single digits have a zero before them so I can use the same code throughout. My updated code would then be

SUBSTRING(ColumnName,7,4)  + "-" + SUBSTRING(ColumnName,4,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING(ColumnName, 2,1)

I need to transform Foxpro table to SQL Server table with merging all rows into one where all column values are the same except one . For this the only column with the different values , I want them also to be merged as coma or space delimited string. The question whether SSIS is a good candidate for this kind of data munging and also would be interested to know knowing as many as possible ways of doing that. Surely I may produce Foxpro script in 5 minutes which wil do that and be a pre-processor action before SSIS starts.

I have a source table #source with columns 'source', 'patientcode' ,'patientdesc'  and it has 4 records as below

source patientcode  patientdesc
canada abc                patient1
canada efg                patient2

canada cn         abc patient1
canada cn          efg patient2

Now, I want to merge the source data with target table -that means, if the records are already avaible in target, then ignore and if it does not available then INSERT.

This is the query i used but new records are not getting inserted.

MERGE #target T

create table #target (source varchar(100),prefix varchar(2),tgt_patientcode varchar(100),tgt_patientdesc varchar(100))
insert into #target values ('canada','cn','abc','patient1')
insert into #target values ('canada','cn','efg','patient2')
