RetainConnection Acting Random
Jan 2, 2008
Happy new year all SSIS Experts,
I wonder if anyone can explain what I am doing wrong here:
I need to transport data between several tables using dataflow components. I need to wrap this in transactions to either succeed or fail completly, I do want to use my own BEGIN TRAN and COMMIT TRAN statements, not the transaction support built into SSIS.
As written in several BLOGs, I should set the "RetainConnection" property to "TRUE" to make sure each dataflow runs on the same connection as the BEGIN and COMMIT statements... and that seems to be random.
Sometimes they do run on the same connection, but I also logged (using SQL Profiler) package executions where the BEGIN TRAN was issued to SPID different than the one used in first dataflow, another SPID again for the second dataflow and finally yet another for the COMMIT... in this case COMMIT fails with "needs an open transaction".
Any idea what is wrong there?
Cheers!Ralf

Hi,I need to extract randomly 5 records from the table "Questions". Now I useSELECT TOP 5 FROM Questions ORDERBY NEWID()And it works. The problem is that I need an additional thing: if SQLextracts record with ID=4, then it should not extract record with ID=9,because they are similar. I mean, I'd like something to tell SQL that if itextracts some questions, then it SHOULD NOT extract other ones.How can I do it?Thanks!Luke

I have built a DTS package in SQL Server 2000 to Delete all rows from a table and then import from another table. I have scheduled it run twice a day and everytime it runs, it does not delete anything but imports all the records from another table. So when its done, I have twice the number of records in my final table. Then I go back to the server and execute the package manually and it works perfect. It deletes all and then imports new. I have enabled package logging and it shows both the steps executed perfectly (even when it executes on scheduled time).
What can be the problem?
Thanks,
Bullpit

I am so confused. I hope someone can help! I wrote a large stored procedure that is meant to be called from a VB application. The store procedure collects data from several tables and buildsa new table of summary data. It is called with 4 parameters (date ranges and names for the new summary tables to create).
I tested the SP in SQL 7 while developing it, and never had any problems. But when I tried it in 6.5, it complained that I had too many subqueries. So I rewrote the procedure with less nestings, and then when I tried it I didn't get an error but it crashed with a DB Disconnected error.
I rewrote it again and then it finally worked (but only from Enterprise Manager); when I called from a VB application (using ADO), I get an error "protocol error in TDS stream." And looking in the SQL error log I see a whole lot of errors, none of which I understand, but the first mesage is "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION raised, attempting to create symptom dump.
I know that without knowing the contents of the stored procedure, there's no way anybody can tell me exactly what's going wrong, but I'm sure hoping that some people can give me some clues or directions to look. I'm desperate and have been working on this one project for too long already!
Thanks for any help or insight you can offer.

When I run this code on a column of the type float or real it's ok, but not if the column is decimal, why?
this produces an error:
SELECT IsNull(column1,'') as column1
FROM mytable
---
this code works:
SELECT IsNull(column1,0) as column1
FROM mytable
---
The problem is that this query is used in a C++ environment to build an insert into another table. The query is build together in a CString.
C++ considers a CString to have ended if it encounters a NULL, therefore I need the check on all columns.
The error message I get is:
"Error converting data type varchar to numeric."
Why is it ok to use float or rel, but not decimal??

Hi,
I have a strange problem with a sql table.
One of my table, dbo.Customer, gives me different values of "row count" everytime I check the properties.
The dbo.Customer have around 12 000 rows but when I check the properties (or open the table) the value always differs. The table row count can have any value from ~9000 - 12000.
Its like the table are trying to load all rows but cant.
Anyone have any idea what the problem can be?

I am trying to import some data from csv files. When I try it using bulk insert I get a conversion error. When I use the exact same format file and data file with an openrowset it works fine. I would prefer to use the BULK insert as I can make some generic stored procedures to handle all my imports and not have to code the column names in the SQL. Any suggestions?
BULK Insert stuff
From 'c:projects estdatalist.txt'
with
(FORMATFILE='c:projects estdatamyformat.xml')
insert into stuff (ExternalId, Description, ScheduledDate, SentDate, Name)
select *
from OPENROWSET (BULK 'c:projects estdatalist.txt',
FORMATFILE='c:projects estdatamyformat.xml')
as t1
The destination table has more columns than the data file. The Field IDs represent the ordinal position of the columns in the destination table. Column 1 in the destination table is an int identity. The conversion failure is from trying to convert column 5 to int which makes me think bulk insert is ignoring the name attributes in the XML and just trying to insert the columns into the table in order without skipping.

Hi, all experts here,
Thanks a lot for your kind attention.
I am having quesion about attributes acting as both inputs and predictive outputs in a mining models, I mean if we are going to predict the outputs, then I cant actually see the effects of themselves acting as inputs as well?
I dont really see through the points of it.
Could please any experts here shed me any light on it.
I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly and thanks a lot in advance.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

Has anyone noticed that if you created DTS package and try to
change connection properties (i.e. change DSN or redirect
DTS to different server or Database), as soon you click OK
it does not save new password and hence does not work
anymore. In my case to move Database from Development to
Production server I would have to recreate all DTS packages.
Is there any way around it?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

I am trying to get random numbers to have a unique value for different processes, then I can identify each process. What happens is that I use rand() function without seed, so I got my random numbers, but after shutting down SQLServer and try to get again another random number after booting up, the same series of random numbers is given again and again. So if anyone knows how I can get unique values,even though reseting the server, and using random function or any other method which automatically provides unique values,I'll really appreciate it if you let me know it.
This is the function: select rand()
Alberto.

Is there a way to write an SQL statement to choose random values from a particular select statement..for example:
select * from address
I was thinking, if there was a way to use an include statement for it like:
select * from address where id IN ('generates some random values')
thanks in advance

So i've got to generate these queries that go from the first of a one month to the last day of a month. the user provides the starting and ending months.
What I was wondering was is there an easy way to set the last day of the month in sql without having to go in and hard code which months end on the 30 and which ones end on the 31.

I once came across a database in which when ever a row was inserted, a unique random code was also inserted in a column. This code generated was similar to format like {8A5FE5F1-6BDA-476C-A4DB584A7710FBF91121054625}. I was told that SQL2000 has some inbuilt functionality for this.
Any idea on how to do this using SQL2000 or coding.
I feel this is much better than Identity Column as using autonumbers in quesrystring is too much risky as they easily readable.
Please help.
Thanks

I have a customer that wants to be able to generate a random list...
-----------------------
The list is case numbers, and I can get those easy enough by saying
SELECT
dbo.table_case.id_number
FROM
dbo.table_case
Now, what I want to do is take that list and extract 1 out of every 1000, picking out random id_numbers to display.
Is this something I can do via a SQL query?
Thanks,

Generates a true random number from xxx to zzz. Uses a table variable so it all depends on the boundaries you specify how long it will take.
create procedure random_number
@lower int = 0,
@upper int = 256,
@number int = null output
as
set nocount on
declare @numbers table (number_id int identity(1,1), value int)
if @lower > @upper
begin
set @number = @lower
set @lower = @upper
set @upper = @number
end
set @number = rand((datepart(mm, getdate()) * 100000) + (datepart(ss, getdate()) * 1000) + datepart(ms, getdate()))
while (select count(*)
from @numbers) < (@upper - @lower + 1)
begin
insert into @numbers (value)
select (@upper - @lower + 1) * rand() + @lower
end
select @number = value
from @numbers
order by newid()
go

I used this to generate a random password. You can change what it returns to up to an 8000 character password if you feel brave. You will need this function (http://www.sqlteam.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14924) to generate the random numbers. For some reason, occassionaly a NULL (CHAR(0)) character would get in there and mess things up so I had to remove those. You could change this to even include the non alpha numeric characters.
create procedure random_password
@length smallint,
@password nvarchar(256) = null output
as
set nocount on
declare @number int
declare @lower int
declare @upper int
declare @part tinyint
if @length > 256 set @length = 256
set @password = ''
while len(@password) < @length
begin
exec random_number 0, 3, @part output
if @part = 0
select @lower = ascii('a'),
@upper = ascii('z')
else if @part = 1
select @lower = ascii('A'),
@upper = ascii('Z')
else if @part = 2
select @lower = ascii('0'),
@upper = ascii('9')
set @part = null
set @number = null
exec random_number @lower, @upper, @number output
set @password = @password + ltrim(char(@number))
if substring(@password, len(@password), 1) = char(0) set @password = left(@password, len(@password) - 1)
end
go
