I have a OLE DB Data Source Component that uses an SQL command as the data access mode. On the Connection Manager "tab" of the OLE DB Source Editor I can sucessfully parse my query and produce a preview of the data.
However, when I go to the Columns tab I see no available external columns? Apart from the fact I'm using a union I can't think of any reason why I can't see any columns, it doesn't make sense.
Can someone please explain the difference between Output and External columns? I can't fathom why "Output" columns aren't good enough. In other words, what is there a need or value in having two types of "output" columns?
I need to execute several stored procedures on a Sybase server and copy the results to SQL Server 2005 tables. While using an ad-hoc sql statement the "Available External Columns" list is correct, however when using a stored procedure the list is empty. I've tried to work around this a couple of ways without success.
1) DelayedValidation. I ran the sql from the stored procedure body in the OLE DB Source to set the column list, then turned on DelayValidation for the Data Flow component. When I switch to using a stored procedure it still connects to the Sybase database and removes the column list. Still does this even after turning on DelayedValidation for the sequence container and entire package (the OLE DB source itself does not have the option).
2) Using a variable that changes during runtime. I copied the sql from the Sybase procedure into the default value of a variable. A script changes it to a procedure at runtime. This provides a column list in design mode but throws the error "The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The external metadata column xxxx needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection" and repeats for every column in the list. I know that the column names and data types are identical.
3) Manually updated the external/output columns list. Was very painful and gave me the same errors.
It seems that DelayedValidation is the route I'm supposed to take, but I don't see how it would be any different during runtime.
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.
I have a SSIS package with a Data Flow task. This task transfers the data from SQL Server 2000 to a table in SQL Server 2005.
I deployed and tested this package on the Test Server. Then put this package in a job and executed it - Works fine.
On the production server- If I execute the package through DTEXECUI, it works fine. But when I try executing it through a job- the job fails and it gives me following error:
Description: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The "external metadata column "T_FieldName" (82)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection....
What I don't understand is, why are there no errors displayed when I execute the package through DTEXECUI.
I entered an SQL Command into an OLEDB datasource and was able to preview the results but no columns were available for mapping. If anyone can tell me what I doing wrong I would much appreciate it.
I map the columns, refresh & OK out of the component without trouble, but on executing the package it fails during validation on this component. I'm utterly stumped. Any light shed would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Tamim.
Any SQL/T-SQL command inside MsSQL Server 2000 can show the description of {all table columns or specified table columns} of specified table inside specified database?
I'm using 2 OLE DB Commands; 1 to perform an insert the other an update. I have found that on the column mapping tab, I only have 10 parameters available to map to. The issue is I need 40 parameters. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I am missing? Is there another way to do this? Am I out of luck . Here is the sql query I am using, so you can see that I have the correct number of parameters listed:
I have a string with values value1,value2, value3, value(n) which I would like to append to my table. In the second column of my table I have a parameter which stays the same, so I end up with (if the parameter value is "123456") Column 1 | Column 2 123456 | Value1 123456 | Value2 123456 | Value3 I would like to set up a single SQL statement which will process this regardless of the number of values (therefore rows) desired. Something like: INSERT INTO dbo_tblUserLevelApplicationRequests ( Column1, Column2) select EmployeeNumberParam as EmployeeNumber, ((stringofvalues) as valuestring) Is it possible to do this with a single SQL statement?
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated
i am using visual web developer 2005 and SQL 2005 with VB as the code behindi am using INSERT command like this Dim test As New SqlDataSource() test.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("DatabaseConnectionString1").ToString() test.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text test.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO try (roll,name, age, email) VALUES (@roll,@name, @age, @email) " test.InsertParameters.Add("roll", TextBox1.Text) test.InsertParameters.Add("name", TextBox2.Text) test.InsertParameters.Add("age", TextBox3.Text) test.InsertParameters.Add("email", TextBox4.Text) test.Insert() i am using UPDATE command like this Dim test As New SqlDataSource() test.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("DatabaseConnectionString").ToString() test.UpdateCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text test.UpdateCommand = "UPDATE try SET name = '" + myname + "' , age = '" + myage + "' , email = '" + myemail + "' WHERE roll 123 " test.Update()but i have to use the SELECT command like this which is completely different from INSERT and UPDATE commands Dim tblData As New Data.DataTable() Dim conn As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True") Dim Command As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM try WHERE age = '100' ", conn) Dim da As New Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(Command) da.Fill(tblData) conn.Close() TextBox4.Text = tblData.Rows(1).Item("name").ToString() TextBox5.Text = tblData.Rows(1).Item("age").ToString() TextBox6.Text = tblData.Rows(1).Item("email").ToString() for INSERT and UPDATE commands defining the command,commandtype and connectionstring is samebut for the SELECT command it is completely different. why ?can i define the command,commandtype and connectionstring for SELECT command similar to INSERT and UPDATE ?if its possible how to do ?please help me
i am using a OLE DB Source in my dataflow component and want to select rows from the source based on the Name I enter during execution time. I have created two variables,
enterName - String packageLevel (will store the name I enter)
myVar - String packageLevel. (to store the query)
I am assigning this query to the myVar variable, "Select * from db.Users where (UsrName = " + @[User::enterName] + " )"
Now in the OLE Db source, I have selected as Sql Command from Variable, and I am getting the variable, enterName,. I select that and when I click on OK am getting this error.
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E0C. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E0C Description: "Command text was not set for the command object.".
Can Someone guide me whr am going wrong?
myVar variable, i have set the ExecuteAsExpression Property to true too.
Hi. I am writing a program in C# to migrate data from a Foxpro database to an SQL Server 2005 Express database. The package is being created programmatically. I am creating a separate data flow for each Foxpro table. It seems to be doing it ok but I am getting the following error message at the package validation stage:
Description: An OLE DB Error has occured. Error code: 0x80040E0C.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E0C Description: "Command text was not set for the command object".
.........
Description: "component "OLE DB Destination" (22)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".
This is the first time I am writing such code and I there must be something I am not doing correct but can't seem to figure it out. Any help will be highly appreciated. My code is as below:
private bool BuildPackage()
{
// Create the package object
oPackage = new Package();
// Create connections for the Foxpro and SQL Server data
MessageBox.Show("The DTS package was not built successfully because of the following error(s):" + sErrorMessage, "Package Builder", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
I'm trying to develop an application for a friend, who has his own server and SQL 2005 setup on it Is it possible to add a connection to an externally hosted SQL Database using VWD2008? I have a login and password for it, I just don't know where I set the IP address to connect to and the name of the DB etc...?Any help greatly appreciated.
hi,am working with my friend so we need to use the same DB ..how can i get him DB and insert it in mine to use it.i 've try to copy it and paste in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData then try to connect it by New connection bt it doesn't workNote:am working n Web Matrix ProjectRegards,
have setup SQL 6.5 on a machine. I have verified that port 1433 is opened for SQL. I am also using a router dell 2300. I am running Windows XP. I have set up my machine to port forward and have setup a static ip 192.168.2.136 nothing I do seems to work.
but when I try to connect to the external IP 12.xxx.xxx.xxx I get the dreaded sql does not exist error.
I can register the server by external ip. When I try to start the server I get an (RPC server unavailable) error.
I can ping the external ip.
I can telnet 192.168.2.136 1433 without error
I can connect though security manager using 12.xxx.xx.xx
I can't telnet 12.xxx.xx.xx.
I think its router but I do not know what I'm missing. I have static ip 192.68.136 set up.
Router Port Forward Settings
Service Enabled In Port Dest Addy Dest Port Type MSSQLSER Y 1433-1434 192.168.2.136 1433-1433 TCP MSSQLSER Y 1434-1434 192.168.2.136 1434-1434 UDP
I have also read that some ISP's block port 1433 due to the worm problem. So I changed the listining port from 1433 to 1971. I am still able to connect using this new port with local ip or local name. I still cannot connect to external IP. (I did change router setting to reflect new port forward to 1971)
I am not sure what I missing. Thanks in advance for any help
Hello,I want to access my database server from the internet. I've created a ruleon my router to redirect port 1433 to the desired machine, but still get aServer does not exist, or access denied message. When I change the(external) ip to the local IP address, connection succeeds. Is thereanything i need to change within SQL Server to allow external (internet)access?
I am looking for some guidance on the following CE based project. The project would mean placing a program on multiple appliances (either PDA mrtphone) which would then periodically connect onto a SQL 2005 server and both read and right to a table on the server. This would mean multiple connections to the server.
I have read various articles which discuss the use of SQL_ce to achieve this but SQL_ce is a single user application. Is it possible to achieve this objective by publishing a share of the SQL 2005 database tables to an internet share folder to allow multiple external connections? Also if it is possible can I test the application on a windows XP platform?
I know that the BI studio can build a nice flow document that is associated with the package. Is there an easy way to build a series fo documents that can be shared with other users without having them go into Visual Studio?
Hello,First, I tried to find the answet to this question, but no luck - so I decided to post it. When I was creating my applications in asp.net - for the first time I decided to start using external DataSets. I think they are great and work very nice!But once I pushed the application to GoDaddy, I got an error of this nature:I was trying to access the exterbal dataSet like this:Dim productsAdapter As New NorthwindTableAdapters.ProductsTableAdapter() Dim products as Northwind.ProductsDataTable...And got an error saying that it couldn't find this type (but it worked fine on my local machine in visual studio).So did I miss something that prevented this application working on GoDaddy? or there are some limitations on GoDaddy? ...or something else.Thank you for looking into this for me.Valera
How can I read one external file (*.txt,*.csv) through stored procedure in MS Sql Server 2000 ?
On the database Interbase its very simple :
[CREATE TABLE table [EXTERNAL [FILE] ’ <filespec>’] ( <col_def> [, <col_def> | <tconstraint> …]); EXTERNAL [FILE]“<filespec> ” Declares that data for the table under creation resides in a table or file outside the database; <filespec> is the complete file specification of the external file or table]
Hi, I have been developing an app using SQL Server 2000 and am ready to transfer to a server located offsite. How can I connect to this server through enterprise manager or anything else so that I can use the copydatabase wizard to move it to the live server?
I have a problem with my MS SQL Server 2000 (SP2). My task is to restore a backup from a database on another computer.
The server makes a backup everyday. If this server gets a hardware problem there must be a chance to replace it by another server which is made by the backup files.
In this scenario I don't have the possibility to copy the whole folder of the old server.
Is it possible to restore the bakup so that the new server looks like the old one?
