I am trying to write a query to a file with a unique name and pipe "|" delimited. Problem is in 2012 the sp_cmd does not exist. I am currently using the code
set @filepat = 'C:Temp'
set @filename = 'test.txt'
set @sqlCommand = 'SQL_CMD -S (local) -E -d SqlAndMe -q "EXEC ExportData" - "' +@filepath + @filename + '" -h-1'
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @sqlCommand
I need to just back one table and not all the data in the table. Is there away to have SQL save the data return from a query to some text file that Ican then use to build the table in another table on another server?I am SQL server 7Thanks,S
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm sure I'm not the only one frustrated trying to figure out which log file SSRS writes to when an error occurs. Does anybody know a sure way to tell? It doesn't change the date/time of the date modified, so you can't sort by date in windows explorer. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to which file it writes to. For example, I had to go through 6 log files to find which one was being written to. I had thought (hoped) that it would always write to the log files with the latest embedded date/time stamp as part of the file name. It does not.
I'm tempted to start using a file system spy, or resort to other tactics. Does anyone have a sure fired way to see which log file is written to when an error occurs? I'm not talking about SQL Dump files - just "normal" errors when processing reports.
Thanks,

I'm a newbie to SQL. I'm using SQL Server 2012 on my local machine and I need to find a way to output my queries as Excel files. I came across these codes for Interactive SQL (what is intercative SQL by the way?) but they don't work in the SQL query window:
SELECT * FROM SalesOrders;
OUTPUT USING 'Driver=Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls);
DBQ=c: estsales.xls;
READONLY=0' INTO "newSalesData";
It seems the "OUTPUT" command is not a valid command. I really liked that piece of code (may be because it is so simple and carries over very few lines)! Do we have something similar for SQL Server 2012 that can do the job?
What I am trying to recreate is:
<value version="5" type="database">
<name>master</name>
<server>servername</server>
<integratedSecurity>True</integratedSecurity>
<connectionTimeout>15</connectionTimeout>
[Code] ....
with this query:
SELECT
'version="5" type="database"' AS 'value',
'master' AS 'name',
LTRIM(RTRIM(([Server Name]))) AS 'server',
'True' AS 'integratedSecurity',
[Code] ....
BUt my output is not correct, it is creating this:
<value>
<value>version="5" type="database"</value>
<name>master</name>
<server>ServerName</server>
<integratedSecurity>True</integratedSecurity>
[Code] .....
So my question is how to I get <value>version="5" type="database"</value> as the first 'value' node?
I've tried multiple ways, but no success.
Any way to have a process run that will not write its changes to the transaction log? I have a process that runs every three hours and has a huge impact on the transaction log (it becomes larger than the database itself). We do hourly backups of the transaction log and normally it is reasonably sized but when this process runs, it gets HUGE.
The process takes source data, massages it and writes it to summary tables. It is not something we need to track as we can recreate the summary tables if needed and it has no impact on the source tables.
Everything is driven through a stored procedure. Is there a way to run a stored procedure and tell it that nothing it does should be written to the transaction log?
I have database tables for
Stores
StoreId, Name
Products
ProductId, Name
Transactions
TransactionId, StoreId, ProductId
I was just given an excel file with a list of 300 Stores.
I need to find out if these stores are selling our products and if they are , how many products they are selling.
One way of doing this , that I can think of right now is individually querying the Transactions table for each of the store in the excel sheet and then copy the results output back to the excel sheet.
Is there a way I can write a query against all the Store names from the excel file ? I need to get this done in the next few hours.
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'

Hi
I have a data flow task where I have to write to a flat file. It works fine for me. But the thing is next timeI run the package it must write the data in the OLDEB source to a different copy. Usually the data is overwritten or appended to already existing data. What I want is everytime the package is run the data must be written to a different copy.
Thanks

Hi,
My situation is:
For example i have txt file called serverlog.txt
txtfile contains:
serverid 3
Last log on 19/3/2007
Linkstatus OK
I have a table created with the following values
Table: serverlog
serverid(primarykey)
LastLogOn
LinkStatus
So my question is how do i get my txt file variables into the sql table.
Is there no import function in SQL?
Ive tried to do it with VB but thats doesnt work.
Greetings Sheila
I have a directory with images and a table in my DB with the path of each file. The main application allow me to create reports where I can display an image, so I was thinking to use a query like:
SELECT [ID]
,[PT_CODE]
,[FILE_PATH],
CASE WHEN [FILE_PATH] IS NOT NULL THEN
(SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK [FILE_PATH], SINGLE_BLOB) TT)
END
AS IMAGE_LOADED
FROM [DB].[dbo].[TABLE_MR_FILES]But I keep getting the error:
Incorrect syntax near 'FILE_PATH'.I have try multiple combinations without luck to make the OPENROWSET read the path stored in the column [FILE_PATH]. What am I missing?
Note: I am using MSSQL 2012. I don't want to import the images into the DB just load them in the fly as needed by the report runned from the application. I have full access to the DB so if a store procedure is the solution I can go with it.
I have a 3rd party dashboard application that I can only use SQL authenticated logins to connect to the database.
I'm trying to create a query within the application that will directly access an excel file through a linked server.
As a test, I login to SSMS as the sql auth user to run the linked server query below but the following error is returned:
select *
from Corporate...[Sheet1$]OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Corporate" returned message "Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.".
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Corporate" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Corporate".
When I login as a Windows auth user, I can successfully run the above query.
I noticed within the linked server's security definition that I cannot specify a windows auth user as the mapped Remote User or as the Remote login
I've tried creating a Credential object with the identity of the windows user and assign that object to the sql auth user but to no avail. I still get the same error
I am using SQL Server express so the option of an automated server agent job to import the excel file is not available.
Details:
SQL Server Express 2012
Office version: Excel 10
Provider: Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0
I have a group of about 5 servers (which will likely grow toabout 25 in the near future) with their names listed in a table in a database on one of the servers. I want to query all servers in that table using the following query to pull the storage drive, database name, created date, age and size of the databases for each server listed in the table:
SELECT left(mf.Physical_Name,2) AS Storage_Drive,
DB_NAME(mf.database_id) AS DatabaseName,
db.create_Date,
DateDiff(day, db.create_date, getDate()) Age,
sum((mf.size*8))/1024 SizeMB

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Foreach loop which scans a table, and gets names of a bunch of procedures, and then back in the foreach loop, they get executed. Im trying to figure out how I can create a sort of log file to say the name of the procedure that is getting executed currently and the current date time stamp onto a flat file. I havent been able to figure this out yet..anyone know how to do this? I grab the names of the storedprocedures from the table and store it in a variable and use the name from the variable to actually execute the stored procedure.
I guess in essence, the question is how do i directly write lines of 'text' (from say a variable) into a flat file.
I'm doing a test package which reads a flat file, makes an adjustment using the derived column task and writes to the same flat file. But, the read locks the flat file, so the write can't access it. Any ideas for a resolution?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am writing to a flat file. When the data is written to a flat file the columns have to be tilde seperated i.e ~.
What I am doing is I am taking a destintaion text file and having all the columns as tild seperated. Is there any way I can
avoid doing this. That is I should not mention couluns in the text file.
Lastly I want the columns to have a width that is fixed.
How I can do this.
Thanks

I am trying to create a text file from multiple SQL Tables using @BCP_Command. I tried using DTS and SQL but the number of columns in the tables have to be the same size when doing a union. I also not to place a delimeter between each column. I've learned how to use BCP_commands on one file not sure if you can make it work with two or more.

Want to write from a table variable to a text file from a stored procedure.Read about xp_cmdshell bcp etc. but worried because it's supposed to be a security problem and needs to be from a permanent database.Also am getting error "The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'xp_cmdshell'..."
1. Is xp_cmdshell a bad idea to use even if I get permissions ?
2. Can a "permanent" table be used in a stored procedure starting out fresh each time with 0 rows rather than use a table variable ?
I'm writing to a flat file destination (CSV file) which contains 2 header rows, lets call it Col1 and Col2.
For some reason, the header rows seem to get duplicated in the output - i.e.
Col1,Col2
A,B
Col1,Col2
C,D
Is there any way to resolve this?
I don't want the file to be overwritten everytime since its used for record-keeping purposes.
Thanks
hi
Writing to text file from table/view is done using osql,bcp etc. How do we write output of stored procedure into text file??
Thank you
I got this error yesterday running an SSIS package:
"The buffer manager cannot create a file to spool a long object on the directories named in the BLOBTempStoragePath property. Either an incorrect file name was provided, or there are no permissions."
This same package was working fine on a different server, so I compared the configurations of the two boxes. It turned out that the service account that runs the package was in the Windows Administrators group on one box but not the other. I added the service account to Administrators on the box that had the problem and the problem went away.
I have looked around and have not found a list of the necessary Windows permissions that an account must have in order to run an SSIS package. This list would include write permissions to the path specified in BLOBTempStoragePath. Has anyone out there configured an account with minimal permissions to run a package that has a Data Flow?
Thanks,

I'm unable to figure out how to write a column header to my flat file destination. My source is a OLE DB SQL query and I need the column names as a header row in my text file destination. This seems easy but the closet I can find is hardcoding the column header row in the header property. Is this the only option?
Thanks
Hello,
Is there any ability to do database-level triggers in SQL 2000? I have a SQL 2000 database, and I was asked if we could create a trigger that whenever anyone touches the data in a database, to create an entry in an event log? If not, I have a main table I can put a trigger on; however, my question is how do you write to a file in a trigger as well?
Thanks.
Flat file is the source for to load the data into a table. I am using "Derived Column Component" for the data validation.
"Derived Column Component" Fails then i am writing/redirecting the records into the Flat File using "Flat File Destination" component.
It works fine except the following the issue.
Issue:
The derived columun value (that cause an error) is not get inserted into the Flat File
Scenario:
the data comes as "000000" and tring to convert to date format
(DT_DATE)("20" + RIGHT(Check_Date,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(Check_Date,1,LEN(Check_Date) - 4) + "/" + SUBSTRING(Check_Date,LEN(Check_Date) - 3,2))
The above expression is working fine, except the data 000000 not passed into the Flat File Destination.
Pls advise. Thank you.
I have a set of parent/child records that need to be exported to a space delimited Flat File. Each parent record must be followed by 3 child records, each on their own line with different format.
I have a prototype using the Derived Column component that concatinates the various fields of each record into one "wide" text column. This fools SSIS to think that each row has the same format. Then I merge them together using an artificial sort id. But this seems overly tedious and very brittle.
What would be the best approach to writing these records out? I'm hoping there is a better more maintainable method.
Thanks,
Jon
