Querying A Windows Folder

Nov 20, 2013

Is it possible to query a windows folder via t-sql?

A table will hold the possible file names of a set of files we receive each day. Is it possible to query the folder and match on the file names stored in t-sql to what is in the folder?

Or will this need something like VB/excel?

What are the guidelines for installing the SQL Software? Is it bottleneck if both Windows and SQL software are installed on the same drive ( I have all the database .mdfs and and .ldfs on a seperate RAID array)?

Use Of Brackets (parenthesis) In File / Folder Names In Windows

Mar 19, 2008

Hi,
On x64 versions of Windows server 2003, there is a folder called "Program Files (x86)". The use of parenthesis in this name has caused a few issues so far, particularly with connecting SQL Server 2005 to Oracle using SSIS. After several hours of searching I realized that the parenthesis was causing it, and eventually I found that the best way is to avoid creating such a name while installing the OS itself, by using winnt.sif. This would be better than renaming it and changing registry entries after the installation is done.

I realize this may not be the best question to ask of Microsoft, but why not just call it "Program Filesx86" by default so no special procedure has to be done to get around these issues? The use of parenthesis is likely to cause even more compatibility issues with other software later?

BTW I use Microsoft products regularly and love most of them

Unable To Copy App_data Folder Databases On Production Server To A Different Folder Or Location

Sep 19, 2007

I dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy  the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder).  So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message
"cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again."
After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message.
So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.

Integration Services :: SSIS WMI Event Watcher Check For New Folder In Existing Folder

Jul 2, 2015

I know a WMI event watcher can be used to watch forĀ a new file being added to a folder. However, I need to check for new folders being added to an existing folder. I haven't been able to find a post on doing this. Is there a way in WQL to check for a new folder being added instead of a new file? I've used SQL for years, but am new to SSIS.

SSIS Or SQl Agent Job Moving From A Network Folder To A Sharepoint Folder - Errors...

Oct 31, 2007



Ok,

I have a network folder called A

I have a SharePoint (2007) Document Library site called B. Web Client is enabled on the server and B is mapped as a Drive (let's call it Y for this discussion)

I want to move documents in A to B. Easy enough, right? Not so....

I first started by creating a batch file that issues a COPY \A \Y /Y at the command prompt. Viola! Worked Great!

I then moved that command to a SQL Agent job as a CMDExec statement (exact same statement) and attempted to run it.....CRASH! It found the files in A but then said "The system cannot find the path specified"

Ok, so I tried it in SSIS. CRASH! Checked the error log. Same thing...

So I then checked the account under which the SQl Agent was running (special domain account for all our SQL Servers). Thinking it might mater I changed it to run under my name (I'm in Domain admin). I also ensured I had permissions to the SPS 2007 library as well. (I did).

Ran again! CRASH! Same error....

So, I created a batch file , placed thec ommand in the batch file and ran that from the command prompt! Viola! Worked Great.

So, I was thinking of how ingenious I was as I pasted my C:RootCopy.bat into my SQL Agent job. With a big grin on my face I right clicked and picked "Start Job at step".......CRASH! Same error.

Does anyone have any ideas on this ???????????????

Thanks,
Stephen

Can I Use The Foreach Loop To Obtain The Sub Folder Names Within A Folder?

Sep 4, 2006

I have a set of folders with the following structure:

MainFolder

1999

SpreadsheetA.xls

SpreadsheetB.xls

SpreadsheetC.xls

2000

SpreadsheetA.xls

SpreadsheetB.xls

SpreadsheetC.xls

etc.

Is there a way that I can use the foreach loop container to loop the sub folders? My plan was to get the folder name and path into a variable, use this to build the connection string for each file in this folder, carry out the upload for that folder, then move onto the next folder and do the same thing, but I cannot see a way to do this.

Thanks,

Sam

Package Execution Fails In Windows Service But Runs Fine As A Windows Application.

Jun 23, 2006

I am attempting to write a Windows service that watches a database for uploaded files to import. When a new file is found, the corresponding SSIS package is run from the file system with variables passed through. I started development as a Windows app and copied the functionality to a service.

The app runs fine. The service does not. I get a "Failure" each time a package is executed. Everything is identical behind the scenes with the obvious exceptions that OnStart and OnStop handlers are buttons in the app. I added a script task at the beginning of one of the SSIS packages to notify me that it is even running at all. It doesn't even hit that initial task.

Again, the app will run all packages just fine. The data is imported and the results return as "Success."

The following is the code executing the package. Any help is appreciated. I've been banging my head on this one for a few days now. (Is there a tag to format a code sample?)

Dim pkgLocation As String
Dim pkg As New Package
Dim app As New Application
Dim pkgResults As DTSExecResult

pkgLocation = sPackageFolder & PackageName & ".dtsx"

pkg = app.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, Nothing)

Dim vars As Variables = pkg.Variables

vars("ImportId").Value = ImportId
vars("ProductionServer").Value = ProductionServer
vars("ProductionDatabase").Value = ProductionDatabase
vars("SourceFileName").Value = FileName
vars("SourceFilePath").Value = FilePath

pkgResults = pkg.Execute()

How To Open SDF File Stored On Windows Mobile Device From A Windows Desktop App?

Apr 14, 2008

Long story short -

Have two C# applications - one WinForms desktop app, the other a WinForms smart device app. Both use SQL Server Compact CE 3.5 to store data locally. Both work just fine.

Now the desktop app needs to open and update the .SDF file that is stored on the Windows Mobile device. (Device will be docked via USB.)

What format would the path to the .SDF look like that the WinForms application would need to specify in order to open it?

Thanks for reading.

Connection Problem To Sql 2000 On Windows 2003 From Windows 95

Jul 20, 2005

Hi all,I have a Windows 2003 server, which is also a terminal server forapplication, with sql 2000 installed. My company has developed anapplication that uses SQL 2000 as its database. The application is aclient/server one. In each client computer there's a link to theapplication on the server. There is no problem with Windows 98,Windows 2000 pro, Windows xp pro clients, but the windows 95 onescannot log in to the database. The log of the application shows thefollowing error:connection error -2147467259. Cannot open database requested in login'database name'. Login fails.Till a week ago the application was running on a Windows 2000 serverwith SQL 2000 install and the W95 clients had no problem connecting tothe database, so my guess is the error has something to do withWindows 2003 server, but what'causing the error?I tried to install a newer version of MDAC (MDAC 2.5, the last versionof MDAC you can install on W95)but with no success. By the way W95clients have no problem accessing shared folder on the Windows 2003server.Any idea?ThanksMarino

Querying Help

Sep 9, 2007




I'm a newbie to SQL and wanted to see if someone could help me write a query. I store historical options data in a SQL data base and I'm trying to create a query that will retrieve all ATM (at the money options).

For each unique stock symbol (STOCK_SYMBOL) in my database find the strike price (STRIKE) which is closest to the stock price (UND_LAST). This will be refined by the EXPIRATION and OPT_TYPE

The following query returns all options not just ATM options.

SELECT STOCK_SYMBOL, UND_LAST, STRIKE, EXPIRATION FROM DATA

WHERE EXPIRATION > '2007-02-01 00:00:00'
AND EXPIRATION < '2007-02-28 00:00:00'
AND OPT_TYPE = 'CALL'


Related DB fields.

STOCK_SYMBOL
STRIKE
UND_LAST
OPT_TYPE

EXPIRATION

Any help would be appreciated.

Querying SAP Through

Nov 8, 2007

I am using MS SQL Server 2005 Import and Export Wizard (.net framework Data Provider for mySAP Business Suite. )

as a interface between SAP and MS SQL 2005.

Once the connection is created i can use basic query to fetch the data from SAP tables
ie., SELECT * FROM AFPO

But say I want to EXTRACT data just for month of July from AFPO.

AFPO does not have date field so you have to join AFPO to AUFK and AUFK to COEP to fetch the date as a criteria to restrict data for the month of July .

This can be done in ABAP by view or Interim Table, if you have Developer Key.

Can anyone please tell me if aforesaid is possible with MS SQL Server 2005 Import and Export Wizard query ?

Hello,
I want to find all the entries where the date field is a specific date; so I may have 5 entries with the date 1/1/2006, and I want to find all of those.  However, datetime fields in SQL Server also have the time, so how do you handle that?  Can you just say where requestdate = getdate() to get all of the entries that have records for today?
How does time affect this?

Querying SQL Views

Jan 27, 2008

 If you create a view such as   CREATE VIEW TestView AS Select * FROM customers_table WHERE CustomerID between 213 AND 3443  Each time you want to select from the view - is the View going to perform the WHERE clause on the customers_table, or not? Or does the view already have the virtual rows?, meaning it does not have to perform a where clause  (WHERE CustomerID between 213 AND 3443) on the customers_table, and just performs an inner join with the rows it already has?

I have a table containing prices. This table will be queried very often to provide quotes for clients.So to ease the burden on the server I want to cache the table and then just query the cached version.However it seems that I can only cache the table as a datatable.

Is ther syntax similar to querying a SQL table?In fact is this best way to go about things?Any help would be appreciated.G

Querying A View

Apr 20, 2006

Hi guys

im struggling to see what im doing wrong with the following SQL, wondering if it has something to do with the subquery being a view...cant think why though


select value from table
where type = 'Extra Mailbox'
and active = 1
and value not in
(select login from view)
order value

The view returns a list of logins and the type field is also a list of logins. I want to filter the list of logins that do not appear in the subquery....

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Querying Two Tables

May 23, 2008

This is my problem

Table A Columns:

OriginatingNumber,
TerminatingNumber

Both of these columns contain npanxx numbers which would be the first 6 digits of a phone number, example 217345 which is in illinois.

Table B Columns:

npanxx,
state

table B hold all npanxx numbers in the united states and what state it pertains to.

what i need to do is run a query to check and see what state the OriginatingNumber and the TerminatingNumber are in and decide if both numbers passed are in the same state or not.

so for example in Table A Row 1: OriginatingNumber is 217345 and the TerminatingNumber is 309454. I need to check both of these numbers against table B and it would return that both numbers are in IL. Basically I need to return a result of yes or no. yes they are in the same state or no they are not in the same state.

Any help would be great

Thanks for reading,

Nick

Querying Table More Than Once

Jun 12, 2008

Hi All

Thx in advanced for any help anyone can offer me.

I have 2 tables Staff and Class which are as follows

Staff
ID (Primary Key)
FirstName
MiddleName
Surname
Etc. . .

Class
ID (Primary key)
LessonTemplateID
TeacherID
TermID
AssistantID

LessonTemplateID and TermID link to other tables which i don't need right now.

The Class.TeacherID and Class.AssistantID both link to the Staff.ID

I am trying to create a query where i can say i want to select a class.ID of lets say 12 and display both the Teachers name and the Assistants Name.

If i do just one join between Staff.ID and lets say Class.TeacherID all is fine and i can display the teacher.FirstName for a particular class.ID. However my problem is when im trying to display both teacher and assistant. Every time i try to create a query to do this the query comes back blank.

Im really stuck on this and just can't figure it out (is it even possible?).

Thx for any help Scott.

Querying Other Databases

Apr 21, 2007

Hi All,
I am very new to sql and I am not really sure of what I am doing.

I have a bit of a complicated stored procedure that I am trying out. There is 3 parts to it to search for new articles,updates and discontinued articles for a particular Supplier. Right now I am just trying to get the first part working - I am trying to query another database that has 4 tables, 2 are joined ActiveArticle & ActiveArticlePrice and the other 2 are also joined UpdateArticle & UpdateArticlePrice. But all tables also hold data for ALL Suppliers, they are recognised by a GUID - SupplierGuid.

I want to compare them to each other to see if there are any new articles added to the Update tables. This is what I have so far, I was hoping someone could tell me if they see some obvious mistakes(I'm sure theres many!). For the first select, I tried adding a couple of parameters Flag and Text to use so that I can order it all once i have the 3 parts working. But I don't know the syntax is right, because then I also want to select all fields in both tables?.

CREATE PROCEDURE Portal_GetPriceListUpdates
(

@SupplierGUID uniqueidentifier
)
AS

SELECT 'A' AS FLAG, 'New Product' AS TEXT, * FROM SupplierUnits.UpdateArticle UA, SupplierUnits.UpdateArticlePrice UAP WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT * FROM UA, UAP WHERE UA.SupplierGuid=@SupplierGUID AND UA.SupplierArticleNumber NOT IN (SELECT SupplierArticleNumber FROM SupplierUnits.ActiveArticle.SupplierArticleNumber))

GO

I would appreciate any help!
Thanks,
pp
