I want to check to see if my document number (let's say, 11) is in between two values: from a table in my database, I have a min value and a max value; how can I check to see if the number is between the min and the max?
Thanks!

Hello.
I have a car table, whose rows contain cars and their respective weight:
Ex: (1, 1000), (2,1100), (3, 900) etx.
I also have a car class table with the classes cars can fall into, based on a lower bound and an upper bound in which the car's weight must fit.
Ex: (Class1, 0, 999), (Class2, 1000, 1499), (Class3, 1500, 1999), etc.
I need to match each car to it's respective class. I've already search the database for post on this subject, but unfortunatelly my goal is yet to be reached. Can someone help?
Thanks in advance,
Hugo Oliveira
Hello all,
I am trying to think my way through a solution which I believe others have probably come across... I am trying to implement a matching routine wherein I need to match an address against a high value and a low value (or, for that matter an input date vs. a start and end date) to return the desired row ... i.e. if I were to use a straight vb program I would just use the following lookup:
"SELECT DISTINCT fire_id, police_ID, fire_opt_in_out, police_opt_in_out FROM ipt_tbl " & _
" WHERE zip_code = @zip_code AND addr_prim_lo <= @street_number AND addr_prim_hi >= @street_number " & _
" AND addr_prim_oe = @addr_prim_oe AND street_pre = @street_pre AND street_name = @street_name " & _
" AND street_suff = @street_suff AND street_post = @street_post " & _
" AND (expiry_date = '' OR expiry_date = '00000000' OR expiry_date > @expiry_date)" & _
" GROUP BY fire_ID, police_ID, fire_opt_in_out, police_opt_in_out"
My question, then, is how would you perform this type of query using a lookup / merge join or script? I have not found a way to implement a way to set the input columns? I can set the straight matches without a problem, i.e. lookup zip code = input zip code, but can't think of the correct way to set comparisons, i.e. lookup value 1 <= input value AND lookup value 2 >= input value
Any suggestions?
thanks for your time...
We did some "at scale" fuzzy lookup tests today and were rather disappointed with the performance. I'm wanting to know your experience so I can set my performance expectations appropriately.
We were doing a fuzzy lookup against a lookup table with 25 million rows. Each row has 11 columns used in the fuzzy lookup, each between 10-100 chars. We set CopyReferenceTable=0 and MatchIndexOptions=GenerateAndPersistNewIndex and WarmCaches=true. It took about 60 minutes to build that index table, during which, dtexec got up to 4.5GB memory usage. (Is there a way to tell what % of the index table got cached in memory? Memory kept rising as each "Finished building X% of fuzzy index" progress event scrolled by all the way up to 100% progress when it peaked at 4.5GB.) The MaxMemoryUsage setting we left blank so it would use as much as possible on this 64-bit box with 16GB of memory (but only about 4GB was available for SSIS).
After it got done building the index table, it started flowing data through the pipeline. We saw the first buffer of ~9,000 rows get passed from the source to the fuzzy lookup transform. Six hours later it had not finished doing the fuzzy lookup on that first buffer!!! Running profiler showed us it was firing off lots of singelton SQL queries doing lookups as expected. So it was making progress, just very, very slowly.
We had set MinSimilarity=0.45 and Exhaustive=False. Those seemed to be reasonable settings for smaller datasets.
Does that performance seem inline with expectations? Any thoughts to improve performance?
I'm working with an existing package that uses the fuzzy lookup transform. The package is currently working; however, I need to add some columns to the lookup columns from the reference table that is being used.
It seems that I am hitting a memory threshold of some sort, as when I add 3 or 4 columns, the package works, but when I add 5 columns, the fuzzy lookup transform fails pre-execute:
Pre-Execute
Taking a snapshot of the reference table
Taking a snapshot of the reference table
Building Fuzzy Match Index
component "Fuzzy Lookup Existing Member" (8351) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0x8007007A.
These errors occur regardless of what columns I am attempting to add to the lookup list.
I have tried setting the MaxMemoryUsage custom property of the transform to 0, and to explicit values that should be much more than enough to hold the fuzzy match index (the reference table is only about 3000 rows, and the entire table is stored in less than 2MB of disk space.
Any ideas on what else could be causing this?
Say I want to lookup a value in another dataset, but there is a grouping that requires you to know what the values for each level is in order to get to the correct detail record. Can you still use the lookup function with more than one field to compare against? So for example
Department
\___SalesPerson
\___Measure
I want to be able to add a new row at the Measure level, but lookup each field from another dataset. In order to do that I will need the Department AND SalesPerson values to do the lookup, but I dont think the Lookup function will let us do that will.
I am attempting to write a SQL query that retrieves info processed between two times (ie. 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm) during a date range (ie. 8/1/06 to 8/14/06)... I am new to SQL and am perplexed... I have referenced several texts, but have not found a solution. Even being pointed in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!!

Actually this is in regard to SCD Type 2 Dimension, Scenario is like that I am moving Fact table from some old source and I have dimensionA description value in fact which I want to replace with appropriate id from Dimension Table and that Dimension table is SCD Type 2 based on StartDate and EndDate and Fact Table doesn't contains direct date value rather there is timeId in Fact so to update the value in Fact table I have to Join Time Dimension table and other Dimension Table to replace fact Description with proper Id.
Lets assume DimensionA Structure

I am doing a lookup that requires mapping 2 columns in the column mapping section. When I do this, I get the error "Row yielded no match during lookup" . The SQL that I captured in SQL profiler does find the record when I run it in Management Studio. I have already tried trimming everything to no avail.
Why is this happening?

Hi all,
I don't understand what's happening here.
I have a Conditional Split with 3 outputs. On the first output I have a lookup, when I execute the package I have 56 rows going through the Conditional Split, all rows are then going to the 2nd and 3rd output but the lookup on the first output generates an error "Row yielded no match during lookup".
I don't understand why the lookup is generating an error while there is no row going through it.
Any idea ?

I am designing a ssis package,This is intends to mine text data(Data extracted from websites).
Term lookup/Term extraction has been used as tools for mining.
I have lookup terms defined with me for reference table,but the main problem lie in extracting the nearby text/number/charcters to these lookup terms during mining.
For example :
I found noun "Email" 200 (frequency score) times in my text,Now I want to extract nearby email address(this is also true for PhoneNumber,Address attributes also).so how can I achieve this with SSIS.
If u have some idea/suggestion to carry out this challenge with or without Term Extraction/Term Lookup,plz do write here.

Hi,
I am transferring the xml data from an xml file into sql server table using ssis.
To avoid any duplicate import via this ssis package, I would like to first check if data exists in the sql server table for what is about to be imported. If so then delete the existing data and then import.
Question:
How do I get the field value say ID field from the file and then take this id and delete these from the table in sql server first.
Is this to do with lookup or is there an easier way to do this please?
thanks
Hi
I am trying to use lookup to see if a item esists in my table ( 3 key fields ). If the lookup fails I want to insert the records. If it succeeds I have put a recordcount to catch the items that are not required. I don't think that I understand the settings for failed rows. I have tried setting the Configure Error Output to redirect, but this does not seem to work. I have the below errors.
[SQL Server Destination [151]] Error: Unable to prepare the SSIS bulk insert for data insertion.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "SQL Server Destination" (151) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202071.
Can someone please advise me how to set up this component to work for my application

Hi,
Before inserting records of a recordset I would like to check that each one of these records doesn't exist in the destination table 1. If the records exist, they should be redirect to other table 2.
For this purpose I use a lookup task. The referende table is the destination table 1. The green line is linked to table 2 and the red line is linked to table 1.
The first execution works properly and copies de records to table 1, but on the next executions the records are copied to table 1 instead of being copied to table 2.
Any idea??
Thanks.

I am trying to understand how to create an SP that will do the following on a varchar field:
Someone enters a [Policy No] and the result set returns the [Policy No] the user entered (if found), plus 10 [Policy No]'s above and 10 [Policy No]'s below the [Policy No] they were looking for.
I figure this has to be a common thing that others have encountered, of course maybe not on a varchar data type field, but still this must be possible.
If anyone can shed some light on this SP-Lookup with either some code or a general direction to go towards - I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you,

Hi, this may be a basic question but i can't get my mind straight and need some advice.
I've read there's limitations on using the Lookup Task.
What i want to do is simply look if a Data exists on a table, if it does i want to update some columns (or delete the row and insert a new row), if it doesnt exists i want to inser a row.
That's all, easy as hell in sql and c#/.net
The thing is i dont know whats the best way of doing it in SSIS.
My limited ssis knowledge tells me Script Component should be able to do the work. That is, send it a variable holding the values i want to verify in the database and depending if it exists to the whats necesary.
So my question is, can i connect to the DB via Script and make my custom selects there?
If so how can i do it?
If not, what's the best way of doing that simple task?
Hi,
I am using a fuzzy lookup to cleanse data from a sales line details table, during the import process. The sales order line details contains a filed called 'reference' and this is compared to a field called 'category' in another table.
Using data viewers to check through the cleansing process, I notice that the fuzzy lookup doesn't seem to match i.e.
tbl.salesline.reference = 'I3' -> tbl.sales.category ='I03'
the above is OK, but the lookup also returns the following
tbl.salesline.reference = 'I9' -> tbl.sales.category ='I01'
The value I9 doesnt exist, and is miskeyed by user entry, and should have been 'I99'. I would have expected the fuzzy lookup to pickup the I99 value as at least two of the chrs are matching, but no, it picks the first 'I*' in the table.
If I expand the fuzzy lookup to return more results, i.e. 5 per record, then it returns the first 5 results....I01, I02 I03 and so on.
Is there a way of improving the fuzzy lookup itself?
So i am designing a new database that currently has several tables 'look up tables' that are used just to limit the values of columns in other tables.
my question is what is the best way to do this?
1. multiple tables - one for each set of values (ex: JobType, Position, PayGrade)
2. One large table that holds all the lookup values - has a 'Category' field to group them
3. put constraints on the columns of the tables that are 'looking up' and get rid of the lookup tables.
thanks
