SQL 2012 :: Query To Get File Name And Date Modified From A Directory?
Sep 3, 2014
basically what we need is a query that will allow me to provide a directory and a variable for number of days for instance 1 day old and I want to be able to able to delete all files older than that date and of course I want to be able exclude files of a particular type where I would give it a wild card statement for example say i wanted to save all csv files i would have the wild card say <> '%.csv'
the ssis package loops through a folder using a foreach loop container and imports the data inside each .csv file into the database.
Now I would like to add the functionality to first check the modified date of the .csv file. If it is NOT today's date then the package should fail or go to error.

I was just thinking about a situation which I have been tasked with in that I have a package that is scheduled to run once a day which will import data from a flat file. The data does not have any distinguishing time that can be used to see whether or not it is beyond a last imported time.
I was wondering, is there a way to access the date modified of the file? If so I could simply append this time to a table which keeps track of all of the files and the modified dates which I have ever imported for this task.
I am looking to create an SSIS package to import text files into an SQL table. I'd like to import the 'date modified' attribute from the text file into one of the columns as well as the data within the text file.
I'm thinking an ActiveX task and variable currently, just wondered if anyone had any other thoughts on how this could be achieved.
I have a database that is actively being used and updated. When I look at the last modified date of the mdf file, it shows as a couple of weeks ago date and the transaction log file .ldf file shows a couple of days ago. wonder if the database is constantly updated and changed, should it show the currently date instead. Also, the attribte of mdf file show A as archive. what does it mean? Thanks
I want to write a stored procedure or a simple T-SQL snippet that takes a parameter "Directory Path" and gives me the name and datetimestamp associated with each of the files within that directory. I can not use xp_cmdshell since it is not allowed. CLR integration is not enabled on the server either.
Is there any other way at all to achieve this directly from SQL Server using T-SQL?
Overall goal: Write a Bulk Insert statement using the UNC path of a filetable directory.
Issue: When using the UNC path of the filetable directory in a Bulk Insert Statement, receiving "Operating system error code 50(The request is not supported.)" Looking for confirmation as to whether this is truly not supported.
Environment: SQL Server 2012 Standard. Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
I am struggling figuring out the token from a CMDEXEC job (as opposed to TSQL Job). It is not an option to execute the command by enabling the executing CMDs via TSQL, which is why I am using the agent. I have seen the Microsoft Site on tokens but all examples seem to be oriented to TSQL Job Type.
I am trying to delete a particular trace file and at same time keeping the SQL Directory dynamic.Taking it a step further is adding in "deleting if file exist".
We have a hierarchical table of some 2-3k of rows that grows slowly at only 3-5 rows a month, and is never likely to be above 5k, holding file/directory names with an IdParent int value pointing at that items immediate parent or NULL if root
iterative code required to achieve the result I am looking for is best handled in the Application layer, but in this case the design brief is that we must get our results back as a View. Speed of execution and code clarity are secondary 'icing on the cake' issues.
I have tried recursive CTE's and XML FOR solutions but without success, and while I feel the latter is probably the best all rounder the searches I have made and the examples I have read do not seem to solve this particular issue.
Even to find the starting point of the search tree (i.e. the .EXE and the .CSV items) was difficult because the final slash is optional in some of the rows (.e. row 4)
The end result of my view on the above data should return:
Id FilePath 5 C:ProgramFilesExcel.EXE 6 D:DataFilesMyDataList.CSV (note the adding of the missing delimiter between DataFiles and MyDataList)
I would like to know if there is a way to find out who changed a users roles/access WITHOUT using the audit function. For example, if a user account was created and given SA access then changed to read only, how can I find out who made that change? I tried searching for an answer, but kept getting no results. I'm thinking this may tie into the sys.sysusers view?
I am taking a "complete backup" of my production db every day using Backupagent of Arcserver 2000. But the Modified Date of .mdf and .ldf files show an older date. Is it normal? Thanks Wilson
Does anyone know how to get a table's 'last modified date' in SQL 7 ? Sysobjects contains the 'create date', but I can't find a 'last modified date' anywhere......
I'm an Oracle DBA and just getting used to MS Sqlserver. I noticed that the windows explorer "date modified" field for my database files ( .MDF files ) doesn't change much even though there is activity going on. Sometimes it doesn't change for a week.
Is this the expected behavior? Could it be that no data is changing in my database? ( I find that hard to believe)
Hi, I am using SQL Server 2000 and have the following questions:
1. How do I know the last updated (data) date using system objects or any other method? 2. How do I know the last modified date of a table using system objects or any other method? 3. How do I know when a table is last accessed
If your tables contain created and modified/updated dates what is the best practice for these?
1. Should you use UTC dates? 2. Do you use a default for the creation date (I assume yes)? 3. Should you create a trigger to handle the last update date? Or do you update the column directly in your stored procedures that modify data?
Also, as an aside if you store the user who created/updated the record do you store a foreign key reference to the user table or do you store the username as a varchar? Of course I know you'd normally store the fk, but I wasn't sure if the "logging" nature of the column suggests storing a string value.

I want to pick the recent modified date for DepCode and sum Yearly and Monthly Amount. I have tried this query and not able to get the output. This is the single table.
select B1.[ID], B1.[AppName], B1.[DepCode], B1.[DepName], B1.[Group], B2.ModifiedDate, B2.YearlyAmount, B2.MonthlyAmount, B1.[FuBded], B1.[AppCategory], B1.[Research] FROM Business B1 INNER JOIN (select [ID], MAX(ModifiedDate) as ModifiedDate, SUM(YearlyAmount) as YearlyAmount, SUM(MonthlyAmount) as MonthlyAmount from Business Group by ID) B2 ON B1.ID = B2.ID AND B1.ModifiedDate = B2.ModifiedDate
Hello, I am using SQL Server 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0. We have a very simple content management system where we have to keep track of date last modified for each row in all of our content tables. I know there's a "timestamp" datatype that is used for replication scenarios, but is there anything similar that I can use to set up a date_modified column for each of my content tables that will automatically update with GETDATE() whenever anything in a given row is updated? Or do I have to create a date_modified column of smalldatetime datatype and write a trigger on update for EVERY single table of content that I have in the database? It seems there should be an easier way to do this than to write 20 triggers for my 20 content tables. Thanks!
Any one please tell me is there any possible way to identify the table modified date.
I have checked the table created date from sysobjects or by right click properties. my requirement is to identify the exact date of table modification and column creation,alter dates. Is there any such provision in sql server 2000 or 2005 , My application is in sql server 2000.
I need to confirm this because some database structure modification has affected my application and causing dataloss i need to check with the date of structural change of table and lost data date can any one help
Kazim writes "generally when we find the new software on our customer and when they want to change the software they said "we must see and use the old datas on the new program". but at here the problem is starting for us because of i want to know on any example on the old software which data is stored on which table on sql server or it is possible for this example we can say spy. do you know anything for about this type of the question and how can we check which tables and columnS are affected by the software? thnx."
I am using vs 2010 and I have an .xls file that I am trying to import into SQL Server 2012, and I have most of it figured out, but I have a date field that is giving me problems, and what I would like to do is put that date in a variable so I can add it to every record in my SQL Table.
I am using a SQL Task Editor with an excel connection and I have no problem getting other data from the excel document and putting into my variable, its just the date that I have problems.
