Limit On SSIS String Variable Size, Trying To Get Big Xml File Into Xml Data Field
Nov 28, 2007
I have a SSIS package that opens an xml file, puts the contents into a string, then runs a stored procedure that dumps it into an xml column in a table. One of the xml files is huge. Putting the data into a ssis string causes an error. The length of the string variable is 58,231,886. The file will only get bigger.
How else can I get this data into a SQL Server XML field.
Is there a way around the character limit for a variable? I'm throwing the following in a variable and evaulating it as an expression and having an execute sql task do it, but I can clearly see it's being cut off.
I have written a SSIS package which does the following:
- An 'Execute SQL Task' uses an OLEDB connection to execute a Stored Procedure in SQL Server 2005 A SSIS user defined variable named @SourceSQLStatement is passed to the Stored procedure as an OUTPUT This variable is a string Data Type
- The Stored Procedure generates an SQL command and saves it in the variable This variable is defined as @SourceSQLStatement nvarchar(4000) OUTPUT The varible is then returned to the SSIS package
When the package is executed the variable does not contain the entire SQL command. When I check in the Locals window during Debug, the contents seem to have been truncated:
+ User::SourceSQLstatement {SELECT a.FailureID, a.ExceptionHandlerID, a.FailureTypeCd, a.AccountNbr, a.AccountNm, a.CaseNbr, a.CustNm, a.AssociateNm, a.TargetSysNm, a.FailureDt, a.FailurePointTxt, a.SubmittedByNm, a.ErrorMsgTxt, a.CreateId, a.CreateDt, a.UpdateId, a.UpdateDt FROM GSPIntegrationException a WHERE a.CreateDt >= (select max(ETLC.RunDt) from X141572_ETLSTAGING.dbo.ETL ETL inner join X141572_ETLSTAGING.dbo.ETLControl ETLC on ETL.ETLID = ETLC.ETLID inner join X141572_ETLSTAGING.dbo.ETLRun ETLR on ETLC.ETLID = ETLR.ETLID an} String
The fully generated SQL command does not exceed the 4000 character length provided in the stored procedure. Has anyone encountered this issue before?
I am downloading a webpage as a text file in order to read a specific string to assign it as a variable/parameter in order to create an output file name. I would like to know how would I be able to look for a specific string and output as another variable for the rest of the package.

To explain it a more better way, I have a sample webpage text here. I should be searching for "FullCountyLoanLimitList" appended by the current year (like FullCountyLoanLimitList2015) and copy the entire file name in the text file and assign it to another variable so that I can download that specific file using WebClient connection.
Is there any way of getting around the 128MB file size limit when creating and adding SSEv databases to VS2005? Currently I get the following error when trying to connect to a database:"The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. This setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only...". This after I altered the app.config file to "...Max Database Size=600;..." Have anyone tried to use SSEv to cache data with the use of the Smart Application Offline Building Block? Is there a provider I can use for doing this?
I have a report subscription this is generating PDF files. The end user of the PDF files requires these files to be below a certain threshold in file size. Is there any way to set up a subscription to generate files that are under the threshold size?
If I knew approximately how many records would generate a report below the threshold, is there a way to generate several reports all of which are below the threshold? Thanks.
I have to send an email using a variable as message body... the variable gets its value from database varchar(8000). Due to limited size of string variable in SSIS the value gets truncated.
Thanks in advance. What is maximum SQL Server database (*.mdf) file size with SQL Server 2000 as part of Microsoft Small Business Server 2000? (Database files were limited to 10 GB in SBS 4.5 with SQLServer 7.0... has this changed?).
Hello, I have 2 table, "table1" is the source one and the other one "table2" is the destination. Columns in Table1 and in Table2 are nvarchar(max). Data loaded from table1 is performed by SSIS OLEDB data flow source, I have found out that opening "Data flow Path Editor" in the Metadata, columns are as: DT_WSTR with lenght 4000.
First question: Why SSIS limit the column to 4000.
Then I get some error for this issue, with the error: input column "col1" (xxxx) and reference column named (coln) have incompatible data type.
As written before both columns are string, the problem is that SSIS limit the lenght of the string to 4000.
Okay, can I assign line x of a flat file to a variable, parse that line, do my data transformations, and then move on to line x+1?
Any thoughts?
In other words, I'm looking at using a for loop to cycle through a flat file. I have the for loop set up, and the counter's iterating correctly. How do I point at a particular line in a flat file?
I have a small requirement in SSIS Error Logging Mechanism. Presently in my SSIS package i am using a File Connection Manager for creating a Log file. I have a problem on this regard. Every time when i am executing my DTS package, the error log messages are getting appended to my error log at OS level (say D:error_messg.log). And for this reason whenever my DTS package is getting executed the size of the file is keep on increasing and there by killing my disk space.
I have a requirement for this error logging mechanism. At any time my log file should not exceed more than 20MB. Or can we remove the log events a week ago or say more than 2 days or say. Just ensuring the log file do not fill up the disk space eventually.
How can we do this? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I am trying to resize a database initial log file from 500M to 2M. I€™m using€?
ALTER DATABASE <DBNAME> MODIFY FILE ( NAME = <DBLOGFILENAME, SIZE = 2 ) "
And I'm getting "MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size." I tried going into the database properties and setting the log file to 2M, but it doesn€™t keep the changes.
I have a database whose log file size is 4 time greater then data file size, and its continuously growing day by day. Recently face limited disk related issue.
Is there any way to truncate log file???
What is impact on db if i truncate log file???
Is there any way to prevent this file continuously growing???
Hi, All,I came cross a problem like this.Cannot create a row of size which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8060 Is there any method to solve this ?
Does anyone know if a sprocs parameter has a size limit? For example if you're passing in a XML document to a sproc - could that call fail based upon the size of the XML document? Consider memory a non-issue.
i'm trying to write this script that check my database file and log size(in MB) and insert them into a table.i need the following columns dbid,dbname,compatability_level,recovery_model,db_size_in_MB,log_size_in_MB. i try to write this a got stuck. select sysdb.database_id,sysdb.name,sysdb.compatibility_level, sysdb.recovery_model_desc,sysmaster.size from sys.databases sysdb,sys.master_files sysmaster where sysdb.database_id = sysmaster.database_id
We are using lookup transformation in SSIS 2012. The lookup transformation queries a table with two date columns. When we hover the mouse over the two columns in the 'columns' tab of the lookup transformation editor, the two columns show as DT_WSTR instead of DT_DBDATE. This causes the SSIS package to fail due to data type mismatch.A similar abandoned thread is available at: URL....
I create an sql string as so, add parameters to it and execute it: string cmdstr = "INSERT INTO locations(id1, id2, companyname, address, city, province, postalcode, phonenumber, faxnumber, contact, contactemail) VALUES (@id1,@id2,@companyname,@address,@city,@province,@postalcode,@phonenumber,@faxnumber,@contact,@contactemail)"; SqlCommand sqlCmd = GetCommandSQL(cmdstr); sqlCmd.CommandTimeout = TimeOut; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@id1", SqlDbType.Int).Value = itID; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@id2", SqlDbType.Int).Value = Convert.ToInt32(ddlDPCLocation.SelectedValue); sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@companyname", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbCompanyName")).Text; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@address", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbAddress")).Text; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@city", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbCity")).Text; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@province", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbProvince")).Text; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@postalcode", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbPostalCode")).Text; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@phonenumber", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbPhoneNumber")).Text; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@faxnumber", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbFaxNumber")).Text; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@contact", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbContact")).Text; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@contactemail", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbContactEmail")).Text; sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); for testing purposes ive added the max text in each textbox area, so each textbox has 50 characters or so and i get an error message as follows, when executing the query: "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: String or binary data would be truncated.

We are attempting to improve our merge replication process between our SQL Server 2005 server and SqlCe Mobile 3 client by switching to Data Partitions. We are using IIS as a proxy to SQL Server 2005 running on a different box using a DOMAIN account.
We've setup row filters to use HOST_NAME() and have set the option "Automatically define a partition and generate a snapshot if needed when a new Subscriber tries to synchronize" to true in the Data Partitions options under the publication's properties in SQL server management studio.
If I use a .HostName value of "1234", everything works fine. A subdirectory is created under a our publication's folder in the shared replication directory that relates to the host_name. Data is copied to the device and can be observed through query analyzer that the data is in fact filtered properly.
However, when using a .HostName based on the GetDeviceUniqueID (which results in '3D321F7212B2AD2CC824954662B9023441BB2D20'), replication works sometimes and sometimes fails with "The merge process was unable to deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber. If using Web synchronization, the merge process may have ben unable to create or write to the message file. [etc]". The final HRESULT is 80045017.
While this error indicates a permission problem, there were no permission problems when creating the "1234" partition. In researching the problem, I ran across KB905395 which states: Limitations on the HostName property and the Subscriber-requested snapshotIf you try to initialize a SQL Server Mobile Edition subscription by using a filtered HostName property, initialization fails. This problem occurs when the value that is supplied for the HostName property contains more than 12 characters. To work around this problem, disable Subscriber-requested snapshot delivery at the Publisher. You can also use a value for the HostName property that contains fewer than 12 characters.
====
This seems to be consistent with what we've observed (which actually led to the "1234" test). Does anyone know if a fix for this exists? Has anyone else run across this issue? I saw a previous post from March that did, but never got resolved. However, the KB article above was posted in March - hmmm...
This is an existing application and filtering based on the device's id is ingrained in the application. Changing it now would be large undertaking.

I am able to use a custom script task to receive a MSMQ package and save the package contents to a flat file.
I can also use the bulk load task to push the flat file contents into a SQL table.
However, I would like to save the package contents to a variable (done, it works), and then pass that string variable to a data flow task for SQL upload. In other words, I don't see any reason to persist the msmq package contents to disk.
My question is: Which data flow source can I use that will accept a string variable? The string variable will then need to be processed with bulk load or an execute sql task.
Btw, the content of the string variable is a csv style string:
Hi folks,Can anyone enlighten me here? I'm trying to use a SPROC which, when supplied with an int, looks up the table and returns certain columns from it.

I need to store totalsize,usedsize,freesize of the datafiles in a table to get an average of how much my datafile has increased over a week. The above query i am using is for logfile size. Can any one help me with datafile size plz. I've checked sp_helpfile, sysfiles but couldn't find what i am lookin for(used and free space). EM in taskpad view for a database shows the statistics for the datafile. I've tried a trace to find out a stored procedure but couldn't!!! May be i am unaware of a simple stored-procedure that can do this for me.
