Limit On Length Of File Attachment Expression?
Apr 20, 2006
I'm dynamically attaching some files to an email. I'm using an expression to build something similar to this:
@[User::FilePath] + @[User::FileName1] + (DT_STR,30,1252)YEAR( GETDATE()) + (DT_STR,30,1252)MONTH( GETDATE()) + (DT_STR,30,1252)DAY( GETDATE()) + ".csv" + "|" + @[User::FilePath] + @[User::FileName2] + (DT_STR,30,1252)YEAR( GETDATE()) + (DT_STR,30,1252)MONTH( GETDATE()) + (DT_STR,30,1252)DAY( GETDATE()) + ".csv"
BOL says to use a pipe delimiter to send multiple attachments. This works if I only have a couple of files. Once I get a few more attachments built in the expression builder I get a truncation error. If I build the whole expression in notepad and past it into the property window it also gets truncated. I see in the MSDN library that some expressions may be limited to 4000 bytes. I'm nowhere near that. Maybe a thousand bytes at most.
Question 1: Does anyone know if certain expressions have smaller byte limits?
Question 2: Is there a smaller byte limit for the file attachment value?
Question 3: Is there way I could build this string outside of the file attachment property and assign it to a variable and then use this variable in the file attachment property?
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

SQL Server 2012.If I create a table with 307 columns, all of type nvarchar(50), it works. If I add another column of type nvarchar(50), it works but I get a warning:
Warning: The table "RowSizeError" has been created, but its maximum row size exceeds the allowed maximum of 8060 bytes. INSERT or UPDATE to this table will fail if the resulting row exceeds the size limit.
307 x 50 = 15350 and 308 x 50 = 15400. why I get the warning below with 308 columns but not with 307?
drop table [RowSizeError]
go
CREATE TABLE [RowSizeError](
[F1] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[F2] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[F3] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[code]....

Hi guys, is there any way to solve my problem as title ? Assuming my stored proc is written as below :
CREATE PROC TEST
@A VARCHAR(8000) = '1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,...,5000'
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @B nvarchar(MAX);
SET @B = 'SELECT * FROM C WHERE ID IN ( ' + @A + ')'
EXECUTE sp_executesql @B
END

I have a package with an input column that is varchar(8000).
I want to strip the first byte off of this column and put it in one result column and the remainder of the field I want to go to a second column. If the input column is an empty string, I want to return NULL.
Pulling the first byte off works fine, no issues, however putting the remainder of the input column into an output column is giving me a little trouble.
If I use this expression:
LEN(FLD1) == 0 ? NULL(DT_WSTR,1) : SUBSTRING(FLD1, 2, LEN(FLD1) - 1))
I get an error that says my expression evaluates to a string of greater than 4000 bytes.
If I do this instead:
LEN(FLD1) == 0 ? NULL(DT_WSTR,1) : RTRIM(SUBSTRING(FLD1, 2, 7999))
The expression passes muster but I get the warning that I will be truncating the column at 4000 bytes.
In actuality, I don't care if the result column is truncated after 4000 bytes. I find the second solution to be a bit clunky and I'm wondering if anyone can give me a reason why the first solution won't evaluate but the second will?

I have a simple SP that returns 2 columns with 4 inner joins, results are about 100 odd rows max, nothing complicated. When I run the SP via SSMS it works fine, as soon as this is run via an application server the SP fails to complete with the error :
Internal error: An expression services limit has been reached. Please look for potentially complex expressions in your query, and try to simplify them.
We are not getting anywhere near the expression limit so I cannot understand why we are suddenly receiving this error. 2 weeks ago this query was running fine, no updates have been rolled out to the SQL database servers or application servers but the error is suddenly appearing on both prod and dev environments.

hi
I am encountering the same problem above and I did exacly as described . But it is not working.
I must send emails every month with dynamically named files as attachments.
The files are named according to the date on which they are generated.
For example on the first of November 2007, the file will be named myfile_1_11_2007.
I have created a variable called DynamicFileName with package scope, data type string and default value: d:\tests\
In "Send Mail Task Editor" Dialog Box, I have specified the following:
smtpConnection: smtptest.server.com
From :nemo@smtptest.server.com
To: nemo@smtptest.server.com
Subject: Dynamic File Email
MessageSourceType: Variable
MessageSource: blank
Priority: blank
Attachments: blank
In Expressions, I have specified:
FileAttachments: @[User:ynamicFileName] + "myfile_" + (DT_STR, 4, 1252) DAY( GETDATE() ) + "_" + (DT_STR, 4, 1252) MONTH( GETDATE() ) + "_" + (DT_STR, 4, 1252) YEAR ( GETDATE() ) + ".csv"
When I execute the package, I get the following errors:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error at Send Mail Task [Send Mail Task]: Either the file "d:\tests\myfile_1_7_2007.csv" does not exist or you do not have permissions to access the file.
Error at Send Mail Task: There were errors during task validation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, the file does not exist. It will exist at tun-time. How can I tell the Send Mail Task to use a filename that is dynamic ?
By the way, once I have specified the code for FileAttachments, on trying to edit the Send Mail Task Properties, I can see that the Atachments field has been set to "d: estsmyfile_1_7_2007.csv by itself: I never typed it there !! It seems that the task executes the code even before it is run. If I remove the attachment path manually, on running the dts, I get an error saying that "either the file does not exist or you do not have permission to access the file.
I would be most grateful if anyone could be of help
thanks

The following 2 stored procedures are used to insert and select attachments for a web application I'm creating. The stored porcedures work in the basic sense but when I do the insert only one record is inserted. Also, when I do the select only one record is selected.
I'm wondering if I there is suppose to be some sort of record counting or looping involved to insert and return all records. If there is, I would appreciate any advice and/or examples on the proper way of doing this.
If the code is also needed I'd be glad to post it as well.
Thanks
CREATE PROCEDURE AddAttachments
(
@FILENAME varchar(200),
@FILE_PATH varchar(2000),
@T_PK int

I have tried different events to be logged on the Details-tab on Configure SSIS Logs, but I don't get the information that I want.
I also want to send this log-file as an attachment in a couple of Send Mail task in the same package. But then I get this error:
Error at Mail Error [Send Mail Task]: Either the file "filename.txt" does not exist or you do not have permissions to access the file.
The file does exist and there is no permission problem because I don't get this error when I remove logging.
Isn't it possible to do this in SSIS-packages?
It works in DTS-packages.

Sara

I have report which accepts a card number and fromdate and todate as parameters to the report. This report needs to be sent on a quarterly basis to each of the customer mail id to which their card number is linked. I am getting all this information from a database and sending as an attachment to the customer. Now I would need making these filename's which are attached to be dynamic based on the input parameters.
In datadriven subscriptions, the option of include report has only true or false values and another option was to take from a database. I tried putting the dynamic file name in the database and getting the value from the database but no success, the subscription itself is failing here. I guess I am doing something wrong here by binding the report name from the value which I am getting from DB to the actual report name.
If report name = Mytransactions, and the parameters passed are Card = 123,fromdate = 1/1/2010,todate = 31/3/2010.
Now in the attachment the file name should be something like "Mytransactions_123_January1st2010_March31st2010".
How to make the filename dynamic.

Hey All,
Similar to a previous post (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=244646&SiteID=1), I am trying to import data into a SQL Table.
I am trying to program a small application that will import product data obtained through suppliers via CD-ROM. One supplier in particular uses Fixed width colums, and data looks like this:
Example of Data
0124015Apple Crate 32.12
0124016Bananna Box 12.56
0124017Mango Carton 15.98
0124018Seedless Watermelon 42.98
My Table would then have:
ProductID as int
Name as text
Cost as money
How would I go about extracting the data with an XML Format file? I am stumbling over how to tell it where to start picking up data for a specific column.
Is there any way that I could trim the Name column (i.e.: "Mango Carton " --> "Mango Carton")?
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I've been calling SQL from my code by doing this:
Code in C# Form
SqlConnection SqlConnection = new SqlConnection(global::SQLClients.Properties.Settings.Default.ClientPhonebookConnectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO PhonebookTable(Name, PhoneNumber) VALUES('" + txtName.Text.ToString() + "', '" + txtPhoneNumber.Text.ToString() + "')";
cmd.Connection = SqlConnection;
SqlConnection.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
SqlConnection.Close();
RefreshData();
I am running Visual Studio C# Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.
Thanks for your time,
Hayden.

I need to write data into a fixed column length file and was wondering the best (most efficient) way to tackle this. For example, the first few pieces of the report I'm working on now would be:
PacketID - Starting position 1, Field length 9
TransactionID - Starting position 10, Field length 9
Group number - Starting position 19, field length 10
PID/SSN - Starting position 29, field length 10
For the PID/SSN, if I have a PID it'll be 10 digits and fill the field length, if I don't I use SSN which is only 9 digits and enter a space as the 10th digit. Obviously if I don't have certain pieces of information I'll just need spaces of the specified length to satisfy the file format. I'm using SQL 2005. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

I have approximately 13 columns. Each Column has a start position and end position.. I created this in a table and defined the position, it's still not working for me.
FiceCode char(6), -- starting position 1, field length 6
StateStudID char(10), -- starting position 7, field length 10
CampusStudID char(10), -- starting position 17, field length 10
LastName char(25), -- starting position 27, field length 25
[Code] .....
I need a text output file that will define each start position.I also used: right(replicate('0',25) + cast(last_name as char(25)), 25) in my sql statement.when I add the first_name, I can't get it to start in position 52.

I have a fixed-length flat file that contains about 30 columns. I have got it pretty well figured out using the flat file connection tool, but I am having trouble with the end of the line.
I know when I look at the file it is a CrLf that separates the rows, and SSIS only seems to understand this to a certain extent. It knows to go to the next line, but it also adds two rectangles to the lines, like this:
Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5
aaaaaa bbbbb ccccc ddddd eeeee
[][]aaaaa bbbbb ccccc ddddd eee
ee[][]aaaaa bbbbb ccccc ddddd e
eeee[][]aaaaa bbbbb ccccc ddddd
While this does create a cool pattern, it is a pain in the butt. The only solution I have found is adding two more spaces to the last column in the table, but the ?s just get appended there.
If anybody has any clue how to get rid of them, that would be great.
Thanks in advance

If I answer yes and continue everything is fine, until I get to the end of the record which it can't find. It basically lumps the records together. What is interesting, that if I import the same file in Access 2000, I don't get this problem. ANyone seen this before? Could not find anything on MSDN

The problem is when I use the wizard to specify the starting and ending of each column, its not allowing me to specify the columns beyond the position 4095.
Is there a limitation on this? if so is there a work around ? to solve this.

I have a requirement to import a file of rows containing fixed length data. The problem is that each row can be one of 5 different formats (i.e. different columns) -- where the "type" of row is indicated by the first two characters of the row. Each row gets inserted into its own table.
Could I use a simple Conditional Split to route the rows? Or is the split for routing similiar rows? Anyways, problems are never this simple...
In addition, each "grouping" of rows is related. The "first" row is considered the "primary" row (and gets a row id via IDENTITY, whereas the remaining rows in the group are "secondary" rows and have foreign key references back the the primary rows id.
Given (using spaces to separate columns and CrLf to show "grouping"):
01 MSFT blah blah
02 blahblah blahblahblah
03 boring boringblah
01 AAPL blah blah
02 blahblah blahblahblah
03 boring boringblah
01 CSCO blah blah
02 blahblah blahblahblah
02 blahblah blahblahblah
03 boring boringblah
So, the first 3 lines are all related to a MSFT record which needs to be spread across multiple tables. The next three lines are all related to AAPL, And the next FOUR lines (yes, each record can have zero, one, or more secondary rows) are related to CSCO.
(If this is still not clear, all the "01" rows will be written to [Table1] with each row having an IDENTITY value. All the "02" rows will be written to [Table2] the a FK pointing to the correct [Table1] row. All the "03" rows will be written to... and so on.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi,
I am trying to import a text file that has fixed length fields.
It also has column headers repeated in the file.
The text file is delimited by <CR><LF>.
Question 1
There are certain rows that end abruptly after a column for ex:
Row 1 <col1 data>.....<col2 data>.....<col3 data><CR><LF>
Row 2 <col1 data>.....<col2 data><CR><LF>
This seems to be throwing off the text file import as row 1 seems to be importing alright but row 2 gets ignored.
This not the behaviour I want. I want row 2 to also be imported and have a default of NULL for the columns that
are not specified.
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Question 2
This is not that serious, but currently, I do not know of a way to ignore repeating column headers.
It would be nice if there was a way, but I can always resort to T-SQL based data cleaning after the import.
Thanks.
