Need Expressions/Syntax Source

Apr 24, 2008

Does anybody know a reliable source for common Expressions and Syntax rules used in RS2000 or RS2005?
This is my third day chipping away at RS and it's been challenging so far.
thx,
John

Syntax Of Operators And Common Functions In Expressions

Apr 4, 2008

Hi all, real basic question:
I can't seem to find a basic reference that tells me the syntax and allowable values of parameters in common functions such as Format or CDate when editing a Field Expression in Visual Studio (Report Definition Language?). Where would I start?

For example, I've discovered that the Format function "Returns a string formatted according to instructions contained in a format String expression.", and the string expression can have values like "D" and "d" which produce different results, but where would I find out what the allowable string expressions are and their meaning?

I have also been guessing at the syntax of the CDate command with no luck. I need a reference that tells me what the different function parameters mean.

thanks
Jac

Expressions And Datareader Source

Mar 12, 2007

Greetings my SSIS friends,

Apologies for asking a similar question again but I am still non the wiser with this problem!

Let me explain to you my situation and the method I've adopted to try and solve it.

I have some source data residing in a SQL Server 6.5 database. The source data consists of a single table. For this example I will assume that my table contains only 2 columns, an ID column called result_ID and a Result_Name.

The idea is to retrieve new data each time the package is run. We will know this because the result_IDs in the source table will be greater than the maximum result_ID in my destination table . The way the package should work is like this :

1) Retrieve maximum result_ID from destination table

2) retrieve data from source table where result_ID > maximum result_ID from destination table.



My package consists of a

1) SQL Query Task which retrieves the maximum result_ID and places it in a user variable (type Int32).

2) A Data flow task with a Datareader source adapter which uses an expression to retrieve the data. My expression looks like this : "select * from result where result_id > " + (dt_str, 10, 1252) @[User::max_result_id]

When I run my package the first time all the rows are retrieved (as my destination table is empty to begin with). BUT when I run it the second time the same thing happens again!! All rows are retrieved.

I placed a breakpoint at the point where the variable gets populated with the maximum result_ID and true enough, the variable gets populated with the correct result_ID BUT then that variable gets reset to 0 in my expression!



This problem is driving me crazy! Has anybody out there experienced this kind of problem before?! What are the ways to solve it?!

Thanks for your help in advance.

Valid Expressions Are Constants, Constant Expressions, And (in Some Contexts) Variables. Column Names Are Not Permitted.

Dec 11, 2007

I want to have this query insert a bunch of XML but i get this error...


Msg 128, Level 15, State 1, Procedure InsertTimeCard, Line 117

The name "ExpenseRptID" is not permitted in this context. Valid expressions are constants, constant expressions, and (in some contexts) variables. Column names are not permitted.

Msg 128, Level 15, State 1, Procedure InsertTimeCard, Line 151

The name "DateWorked" is not permitted in this context. Valid expressions are constants, constant expressions, and (in some contexts) variables. Column names are not permitted.

What am i doing wrong...Can anyone help me out!! Thanks!!

XML Source - No External Columns Avail-- Syntax Error In XML/XSD?

Jan 28, 2008

Hi All,

Hopefully someone can help me with what I'm sure is a very simple question (new to the XML thing). I receive an XML file from "someplace" that I need to parse out using the XML Source in SSIS. I have SSIS generate me an XSD document, as one isn't provided for me. However, after I do this, SSIS does not show any available external columns to pull data from- the "Columns" section of the source is just blank. I'm pretty sure this has to do with a syntax error in either the XML file that is being provided to me, or the XSD doc that SSIS is generating. Below are both (obviously with data dummied up). Can someone take a look and let me what needs to be changed in either file to get this up and running? I'm looking to grab the AccountNumber, RecordNumber, ProcessedDate, Status, and StatusMessage elements.


XML File:



Code Snippet
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<AccountResponse xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<AccountNumber>S12345678</AccountNumber>
<RecordNumber>AAA1122</RecordNumber>
<ProcessedDate>Monday, January 28, 2008 11:07 AM</ProcessedDate>

Incorrect Syntax Near The Keyword CONVERT When The Syntax Is Correct - Why?

May 20, 2008

Why does the following call to a stored procedure get me this error:


Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'CONVERT'.




Code Snippet

EXECUTE OpenInvoiceItemSP_RAM CONVERT(DATETIME,'01-01-2008'), CONVERT(DATETIME,'04/30/2008') , 1,'81350'




The stored procedure accepts two datetime parameters, followed by an INT and a varchar(10) in that order.

I can't find anything wrong in the syntax for CONVERT or any nearby items.


Help me please. Thank you.

Which Is Faster? Conditional Within JOIN Syntax Or WHERE Syntax?

Mar 31, 2008

Forgive the noob question, but i'm still learning SQL everyday and was wondering which of the following is faster? I'm just gonna post parts of the SELECT statement that i've made changes to:

INNER JOIN Facilities f ON e.Facility = f.FacilityID AND f.Name = @FacilityName

OR

WHERE f.Name = @FacilityName


My question is whether or not the query runs faster if i put the condition within the JOIN line as opposed to putting in the WHERE line? Both ways seems to return the same results but the time difference between methods is staggering? Putting the condition within the JOIN line makes the query run about 3 times faster?

Again, forgive my lack of understanding, but could someone agree or disagree and give me the cliff-notes version of why or why not?

Thanks!

Converting Rrom Access Syntax To Sql Syntax

Sep 23, 2007


Ok I am tying to convert access syntax to Sql syntax to put it in a stored procedure or view..
Here is the part that I need to convert:

SELECT [2007_hours].proj_name, [2007_hours].task_name, [2007_hours].Employee,
IIf(Mid([task_name],1,3)='PTO','PTO_Holiday',
IIf(Mid([task_name],1,7)='Holiday','PTO_Holiday',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9) In ('9900-2831','9900-2788'),'II Internal',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9900-2787','Sales',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9910-2799','Sales',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9920-2791','Sales',

)
)
)
)
) AS timeType, Sum([2007_hours].Hours) AS SumOfHours
from................

how can you convert it to sql syntax

I need to have a nested If statment which I can't do in sql (in sql I have to have select and from Together for example ( I can't do this in sql):
select ID, FName, LName
if(SUBSTRING(FirstName, 1, 4)= 'Mike')
Begin
Replace(FirstNam,'Mike','MikeTest')
if(SUBSTRING(LastName, 1, 4)= 'Kong')
Begin
Replace(LastNam,'Kong,'KongTest')
if(SUBSTRING(Address, 1, 4)= '1245')
Begin
.........
End
End

end




Case Statement might be the solution but i could not do it.






Your input will be appreciated

Thank you

Expressions

Jun 7, 2006



When creating expressions we have access to a list of functions. It is my understanding that while these functions seem to have the same names and parameters as SQL functions, they are not so. They are implemented in the package libraries themselves. It is also my understanding that this function library cannot be extended to add new ones.

Am I correct? If so... why not?

Leaving alone the fact that they follow the same screwy names as SQL (instead of .NET on which SSIS is built on) and what seems to be a limited library (i.e. You have YEAR(), MONTH(), DAY() functions but no HOUR(), MINUTE(), or SEC() functions -- instead you have to use DATEPART())

I mean honestly... a common expression for most people is using date and times for folder and filenames... So instead of a simple .NET type expression of DateTime.ToString("yyyyMMdd") or Format(DateTime.Now, "yyyyMMdd_hhmmss") I end up with the very complex:

(DT_STR, 4, 1252) YEAR( GETDATE() ) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) MONTH( GETDATE() ), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DAY( GETDATE() ), 2) + "_" + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("hour", GetDate()), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("minute", GetDate()), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("second", GetDate()), 2)

Personally I find myself using Script Tasks and Variables to "build" my expressions and just use Expressions to set the property to the variable. (Which I think may defeat the full purpose of expressions.)

Any thoughts?

Integration Services :: Metadata Change In Source Disturbs All Configuration Of Source

Jun 18, 2015

I have a got a package with source as sql table which has got 50 columns. We are using only 10 columns out of this. Recently one column name has changed and thus throws error invalid mapping. When I open the source to do the changes noticed that all the colums are prselected now and also the datatypes got changed to default ( I had changed the datatypes as per my requirement while i developed). So now I had to select required columns from source and redo the datatype changes in advanced editor.Is there any option which doesnt disturb this settings and we just need to correct the mapping alone.

XML TASK XSL Variable: Exception 'Property New Source Has No Source Xml Text'

Dec 20, 2005

Hi,
I want to transform an xml flow to an html flow. For this, I create an XmlDataDocument, I add on it, all that I want, and I store it in a file (in a dataflow task).
After that, in an xml task, I set the input properties like that:
Operation type: xslt
SourceType: File connection
Source: ras.xml
 
All works fine. But now, I want to use a variable to store my xml data. So, instead of storing my data in ras.xml, I store it in a variable like that:
 
Dim v As Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSVariables90
Me.VariableDispenser.LockOneForWrite("RAS", v)
v("RAS").Value = doc.OuterXml
v.Unlock()
 
and in the xml task, I set configuration like that:
 
Operation type: xslt
SourceType: Variable
Source: user::RAS
 
But when I execute, I got this following exception:
 
Error: 0xC002F304 at Format HTML Mail, XML Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Root element is missing.".
Error: 0xC002928F at Format HTML Mail, XML Task: Property "New Source" has no source Xml text; Xml Text is either invalid, null or empty string.
 
Furthermore, when I want to debug it, in replacing the xml task, by a script task, I can see that in my RAS variable, I get the xml data which is well formed.
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root> €¦
</root>
 
(When I store it in a file, I can see it in IE)
 
Have you got an idea ?

I want to make a method which handles these queries.
But at the back end on Stored Procedures
We have to write 3 queries

I want to minimize the queries and conditions
and want to just write one for these 3
Can any one do it?

 My question is how can I combine these three queries into one so that I only get one record set?
 Thanks for all the help!

MS SQL:- Regular Expressions

Jun 24, 2008

Hi, the Microsoft SQL Server version is 2000


Basically I want use a basic regular expression but can't seem to get the syntax right.

i want to compare ID_short = ID_Long

ID_short is a truncated version of ID_Long, and I want to search on the beginning only (hence I can't use the 'LIKE' comparative on it's own).

What is the syntax to use Reg Expressions (or if anyone knows a non RegExp way of searching the beginning please let me know).

Can I Set Expressions Programmatically?

Apr 16, 2007

I'm building SSIS packages through code and I would like to set the properties of some custom tasks (not data flow tasks) to expressions. I've done some searches but turned up nothing. This is the only thing I'm hitting a brick wall on at the moment; Books Online has been excellent in detailing how to create packages via code up to this point.



For the sake of argument, let's say I want to set the SqlStatementSource property of an Execute SQL task to this value:



"INSERT INTO [SomeTable] VALUES (NEWID(), '" + @[User:omeStringVariable] + "')"



What would the code look like?

Color Expressions

Jun 5, 2007

Hey everyone,



I know that you can make an expression that will make it one color if a certain condition is met and a different one if it is not but is there anyway to make it so that if a number is less than another it's one color, if it's greater it's a different color and if they're equal it's a third color? Thanks for the help.

Multiple Expressions.

Apr 16, 2007

Good Morning all.

Is it possible to put multiple expressions in one cell.



Here is an example of the expressions I'm using. I'm currently having to put them horizontally in a seperate cell.



=Count(IIf (Trim(Fields!NOB_Pickup_L_D_T.Value) = "Y", 1, Nothing))

=Count(IIf (Trim(Fields!NOB_Pickup_L_D_T.Value) = "N", 1, Nothing))

=Count(IIf (Trim(Fields!NOB_Pickup_L_D_T.Value) = "NA", 1, Nothing))



Desired output will look sim to this in one cell







Y = 5

N = 3

NA = 0



Thanks,

Greetings!

I am attempting to implement the following case statement BEFORE getting the data in to my destination table but I don't know how to create an expression for it.



In the mapping section of my OLE DB destination component I can only do mapping but I can't actually manipulate the data before it gets to the destination table.

What do I have to do to implement :



case
when SOPD.PRICE_TOP_NUMBER is NULL then -8
else SOPD.PRICE_TOP_NUMBER
end AS price_top_number,



before it goes to the destination column?!

Boolean Expressions

Nov 12, 2007

I have a unusual problem, well it is unusual becaue i cannot understand it.

I am retrieving the following data, Revenue, Sales, Commission, and calculating Commission Rate in the report itself.

I got warnings that a textbox that was attempting to calculate the Commission Rate was trying to divide by zero.

When I analysed the data, I realised that indeed there were instances when Revenue was 0.00 and therefore when calculating the commission rate, commission/revenue it returned an error.

I then thought I'd do the following in the expression field

=iif((Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00), "Zero", (Fields!Commission.ValueGbp/Fields!RevenueGbp.Value))

However this does not work. However if i tried the following Boolean query

=iif((Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00), "Zero", Fields!CommissionGbp.Value)

it does work. In fact if I use any other identifier or use two field thats add, subtract or multiplied with each other it will work. The problem only arises is when I decide to divide two fields together.

Strangely if the condition is satisfied - [Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00] - it will still try to work out the division even though it should just return Zero!

Anyone help?

Using Expressions In FOR LOOP

Apr 11, 2007

I need to create a While Loop with the FOR LOOP task.



According to my SSIS book, "to set up a While Loop in the For Loop, simply create an expression that tests a variable that can be modified by some workflow either inside or outside the For Loop"



What I want to do is, put an FTP task (whose job it is to receive a file) inside the For Loop.



I want the control flow to go like:



FOR LOOP --> FTP task --> file received? --> NO --> set variable 0 --> FOR LOOP --> check for variable --> is variable 1? --> NO --> FOR LOOP --> FTP task



and so on, until the variable is set to 1, indicating the successful transfer of the file



According to my book, this can be done simply with the use of expressions.



My question is, how do I write the expressions, both for the FTP task (which will set the variable to 0 or 1), and then the expression for the For Loop, which will evaluate the variable in its expression?



So, seems like I need to write 2 expressions, but not sure how.



Any help appreciated.



Thanks

Multiple Expressions.

Apr 16, 2007

Good Morning all.

Is it possible to put multiple expressions in one cell.



Here is an example of the expressions I'm using. I'm currently having to put them horizontally in a seperate cell.



=Count(IIf (Trim(Fields!NOB_Pickup_L_D_T.Value) = "Y", 1, Nothing))

=Count(IIf (Trim(Fields!NOB_Pickup_L_D_T.Value) = "N", 1, Nothing))

=Count(IIf (Trim(Fields!NOB_Pickup_L_D_T.Value) = "NA", 1, Nothing))



Desired output will look sim to this in one cell







Y = 5

N = 3

NA = 0



Thanks,

Rick

Loading Data Using Ole Db Source With Input Source Being A View

Dec 13, 2007

I was trying to load data using SSIS, Data Flow Task, OLE DB Source, source was a view to a OLE DB Destination (SQL Server). This view returns 420,591 rows from Query Analyzer in 21 seconds. Row length is 925. When I try to executed the Data Flow Task from SSIS, I had to stop the process after 30 minutes, because only 2,000 rows had been retrieved. I modified the view to retun top 440, 000 and reran. This time all 420, 591 rows were retrieved and written in 22 seconds. Next, I tried to use a TOP 100 Percent. Again, only 2,000 rows were return after 30 minutes. TempDB is on a separate SAN Raid group with 200 gig free, Databases on a separate drive with 200 gig free. Server has 13 gig of memory and no other processes were executing.

The only way I could populate the table was by using an Execute SQL Task and hard code an Insert into table selecting data from the view (35 seconds) from SSIS.

Have anyone else experience this or a similar issue? Anyone have a solutionexplanation?

Using XML Source In SSIS Vs Script Source To Parse Xml Files.

Sep 14, 2007



Hi

I am having a huge xml file with nested section.
i also have a xsd file for that xml.
i have a destination table where the data from the xml should be loaded into.
i am using the xml source transformation. But o get all the data i need to use multiple merje joins to get the data in a single row which i can insert into the destination.i was not quiet convinced with using so many joins.

so i tried using the script source transformation where i am using xml objects to get the node and dynamically construction the data row. and the output is then inserted into the destination.
on comparing the two approach the one using the script source is working much faster than the xml source transformation.

i wanted to know is there any limitaion using the script source to parse through xml files.
also i would like to know any other better way of getting the data from xml source without using the joins.

Date Conversion And Expressions

Aug 31, 2006

I have a table with about 20,000 records that have a date field, stored as a datetime in the database like '8/28/2006 8:42:14 AM'. The dates range from March 2004 to current. What I would like to do is retrieve the dates in that format (month year) and put them in a dropdown. I have this so far:SELECT DISTINCT DATEPART(month, dte_date) AS Expr1, DATEPART(yyyy, dte_date) AS Expr2 FROM myTable ORDER BY DATEPART(yyyy, dte_date), DATEPART(month, dte_date)And the query returns the information that I want, but I can only bind one field to the dropdown. I was thinking that if I return the results a single expression (concantenate?) then I could bind that to the dropdown. I'm not sure as how to go about this. Also, the month returned is numeric and I would rather have the name of the month returned (like "July" instead of "7"). Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me.

Numeric Expressions And Aliases

Mar 8, 2006

I'm in the process of building a site and converting views/tables/queries from an Access database to SQL. I've done this quite a few times, and never had any significant issues I couldn't figure out on my own.

In Enterprise Manager, I've created a view and in the query, I need to create an alias that is similar to below:

SELECT ((monthmult) + ((b2avg*15)-(av2*10)) + (lp1+lp2) + ((b1avg*30)-(av1*20))) as PIndexValue

which is how the formula reads in the Access view.

However, when I got to run the query, SQL strips out all of the parentheses and calculates the value in left to right order:

(monthmult + b2avg*15-av2*10 + lp1+lp2 + b1avg*30-av1*20) as PIndexValue

Which gives me an incorrect value.

Does anyone know why this is happening, or am I just unaware of the right way of doing it?

Thank you,

Derrick

? On Check Constraint Expressions

Sep 15, 2004

I am creating a check constraint on a field (GRID_NBR) for values between 1 & 99. I am a little confused on creating the expression for it (Books online is vague).

Can I use the following expression: GRID_NBR BETWEEN 1 AND 99

Or do I have to use: GRID_NBR > 0 AND GRID_NBR < 100


Thanks!

SSIS And Regular Expressions

Feb 9, 2007

Hi,

I have a crappy old database that has an email field with a lot of bad data, and I need to use SSIS to extract a list of names & email addresses.

I have an OLE DB Source set up to pull the relevant columns out of the database. Is there a way that I could setup a Regular Expression based filter to disregard any rows where my email Regex does not match the value of the email column?

Thanks,
John
