Apr 14, 2014

I need find out the number of columns in flat file before i process that particular file.I have file name in @filename variable and file path is @filepath variable.But do not not that how i will check the column name in before i will process that file.

@filePath = C:DatabaseSourceFilesCAHCVSSourceFiles
And i am using for each loop container to read the file one by one and put the file name in @filename variable.and my file name like

Flat File And Uneven Number Of Columns

Jan 20, 2006

Please leave feedback for Microsoft regarding this problem at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=126493

Ok I'm sure it just me, SSIS has been great so far....but how can you import a straight CSV file with and uneven column count.

For example: (assume CR LF row delimiter)

The,Quick,Brown,Fox,Jumps
Hello,World
This,is,a,test

"Normally" I'd expect this

| Col1 |
| Col2 |
| Col3 |
| Col4 |
| Col5 |

The
Quick
Brown
Fox
Jumps

Hello
World
NULL
NULL
NULL

This
is
a
test
NULL

Ok but what we get is the row delimiter is ignored in preference for the column delimiter and the row delimiter gets sucked into the column and the next row starts to get layed down.

So we get

| Col1 |
| Col2 |
| Col3 |
| Col4 |
| Col5 |

The
Quick
Brown
Fox
Jumps

Hello
World{CR}{LF}This
is
a
test

I'm I not seeing a tick box somewhere that says "over here if you want to terminate a row on the row delimiter even if all columns aren't full and we'll pad NULLs in rest of the row columns which you can fix in the flow transformations"

I'm sure it's there.....help!

(By the way SSIS team, great job on the package love using it)

Flat File Data Source With Variable Number Of Delimited Columns

Feb 26, 2007

I am writing a package that will process delimited flat files that will come in one of a few different versions. Within each flat file, the number of delimited columns will be the same, but each version of the file has a different number of columns. I have tried configuring the flat file data source to expect the version with the largest number of columns, but it will then throw away rows that have less than this number of columns (warning: There is a partial row at the end of the file).

Is it possible to use a single flat file data source that will work with all of the different width files?

Check File For Being Used By Some Other Process When Using Flat File Source

Feb 14, 2007

I am wondering how easy is to check for file locks and have our SSIS Package to wait until file has been release by the process which is using it.

Also, same question when we're writing to a Flat File (or Flat File Destination).

Thanks,

SQL Server 2012 :: Write A Process To Get File Size In Kb And Record Count In A File?

Jul 31, 2014

I need to write a process to get file size in kb and record count in a file. I was planning on writing a c# console app that takes the file path and name as a param however should i use a CLR?

I cant put a script in the ssis when it's bringing the file down because it has been deemed that we only use ssis for file consumption.

Unable To Edit Pre-defined Flat File Connection Manager Properties In The Flat File Destination Editor

Aug 24, 2007

Hi,

I am testing SSIS and have created a Flat File Destination. I defined the Flat File Connection as New for the first time and it worked fine. Now, I would like to go back and modify the Flat File Connection in the Flat File Destination Editor, but it allows only to create a New connection rather allowing me to edit the existing one. For testing, I can go back and create a new connection, but if my connection had 50-100 columns then it would be an issue to re-create it from scratch.

Did someone else faced this issue?

Thanks,
AQ

Flat File Connection Manager Throws Error When A Column Gets Added To The Flat File

Dec 27, 2006

Hi,

I have a situation where a tab limited text file is used to populate a sql server table.

The tab limited text file comes from a third party vendor. There are fixed number of columns we need to export to the sql server table. However the third party may add colums in the text file. Whenenver the text file has an added column (which we dont need to import) the build fails since the flat file connection manager does not create the metadata for it again. The problem goes away where I press the button "Reset Columns" since it builds the metadata then. Since we need to build the tables everyday we cannot automate it using SSIS because the metadata does not change automatically. Is there a way out in SSIS?

Output Column Width Not Refected In The Flat File That Is Created Using A Flat File Destination?

May 11, 2006

I am transferring data from an OLEDB source to a Flat File Destination and I want the column width for all of the output columns to 30 (max width amongst the columns selected), but that is not refected in the Fixed Width Flat File that got created. The outputcolumnwidth seems to be the same as the inputcolumnwidth. Is there any other setting that I am possibly missing or is this a possible defect?

Any inputs will be appreciated.

How To Find Duplicate Rows In Flat File ?

In the FLAT FILE source, I have to find the duplicate rows based on the two fields say, "bill number" & "invoice date".

The rows within flat file has like "bill number" which is duplicated on the same "invoice date".

If duplicate rows found then move the duplicate rows into another Flat File.

Dynamic Columns For Flat File Destination?

Jul 10, 2006

I have a database app, and we're implementing various data export features using SSIS.

Basically, it's a couple of straight extracts of various recordsets/views, etc. to CSV (flat files) from our SQL Server 2005 database, so I'm creating an SSIS package for each of these datasets.

So far, so good, but my problem comes here: My requirements call for users to select from a list of available columns the fields that they want to include in their exported file. Then, the package should run, but only output the columns specified by the user.

Does anyone have any idea as to the best way to accomplish this? To recap, at design time, I know which columns the users will have to choose from, but at run time, they will specify the columns to export to the flat file.

Any help or guidance here is greatly appreciated

Not Able To Map View Columns To A Flat File Destination

Oct 16, 2007

Hi,

I have a dataflow task with two components: OLE DB source --> Flat File destination

In the OLE DB source, I am accessing a view, not a table.

However, when I attempt to map the view's input columns to the flat file destination columns, the screen is completely blank. There's none of the usual drop downs that let you select the column name, nor can I drag and drop the input column from the upper pane to the lower pane.

Is there a trick to doing this?

Thanks

Order Of Columns In Flat File Destination

Oct 23, 2007

I need to create a number of flat files, all with the same layout and sourced from the the same table, but with different criteria.

The first set of (three) flat files file is created out of a simple Conditional Split transformation: If Source Table row number > 40,000 route to File 3; if row number > 20,000, route to file 2, otherwise route to file 1. This gives me 20,000 rows in files 1 & 2 and the remainder in file 3.

I also want to create a fourth flat file by joining the Source Table with a sample table and selecting only those rows where the Customer numbers match. I'm currently doing this in two stages: An Execute SQL Task performs the join and inserts the selected rows into a Destination table (identical layout to source table), and then a simple data flow moves the rows from the Destination table into the fourth flat file.

My problem is that the order of the columns in the first three flat files is different from the fourth file. I've tried creating the fourth flat file with a single data flow using a Merge Join transformation which didn't work because the tables aren't sorted in the correct sequence, and I couldn't get an OLE DB Command transformation to work either.

I'm not sure why the column order of the 4th file should be different seeing as how its contents are sourced from the same Source table, but is there a cunning way of setting this up so that the columns end up in the same order?

Flat File Connection Is Skipping Columns

Jan 25, 2007

The data file contains column names in the first row. Excel imports the file correctly. I can see the tabs in UltraEdit32. But...the flat file connection just skips over a column.
In the preview window, it appears to skip the column entirely.

However, when the data is imported, data from the non recognized column goes into a column that is mapped to receive data from another column shifting the data in to the next column.

I am using the CopyColumn and the SQL Destination controls.

Any ideas on how to make this work?

Thanks,

Integration Services :: Flat File With Dynamic Columns

I will be receiving a CSV daily where columns within the file will change. The column order and number of columns can change daily. I need a way to read in the header from the csv and create a flat file connection that reflects the columns listed in the header.

Is there an easy way to do this using a script task? I have already read the header into a table but I have been unable to create the dynamic file connection.

Flat File To SQL Destination - Unused Columns Warning

Jan 15, 2007

I have a flat file data source and SQL Server destination data flow. Only a subset of columns from the source are mapped to the destination. During execution SSIS returns DTS pipline warnings for every unmapped source column. Is some kind of transformation the only way to get rid of these warnings?

Also this data flow subsequently returns an error: [SQL Server Destination [1293]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "Could not bulk load because SSIS file mapping object 'GlobalDTSQLIMPORT ' could not be opened. Operating system error code 2(The system cannot find the file specified.). Make sure you are accessing a local server via Windows security."

I'm researching this error, but if anyone is familiar with it your advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi everyone

I�m using the Flat File Connection Manager to access a flat file, tab delimited. The flat file has 200 columns, and when I'm editing the columns, I only preview columns from 0 to 97.

Does the flat file connection have a column number limit? How could I increase it?

Thank you for your answer.....

Flat File Import, Ignore Missing Columns?

Oct 12, 2007

I'm new to SSIS, and trying to automate data imports from text files. The text files I'm importing always contain a fixed set of columns, or a subset of those columns. If I include a subset of columns in the import file (and exclude others), the data doesn't import...I assume because the actual file doesn't include every column defined in the flat file source object?

Is it possible to accomplish this without dynamically selecting the columns, as indicated here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms136020.aspx

How To Validate Flat File Data Against Not Null Columns Of A Table?

Nov 27, 2007

Hi all,

I am facing a problem on validating the data from a flat file while inserting the data into the destination table of sql server 2005 database. In my package, i have to validate the input data whether the values are coming as null or not, before inserting into the destination database. The flat file may not contain data for all NOT NULL columns. I have to find out that row(s) and reject the record. If the rows are coming as Null for the Not Null columns, the OLEDB Destination throws OLEDB exception for the constraint.

To resolve this, i have an script component in data flow, to check whether the input data is coming as null. I have added the output column of boolean type to the script component, it will be assigned to TRUE when there is null for the Not Null column in the script.

And in the follwing conditional split, i am checking the flag for TRUE to reject the record.

Is there any other way to handle this validation?

Regards
Madhav

Converting Flat File To SQL2005 Table (Flat File From H***)

Feb 11, 2008

First, a couple of important bits of information. Until last week, I had never touched SISS, and therefore, I know very little about it. I just never had the need to use it...until now. I was able to convert my first 3 flat files to SQL2005 tables by right clicking on "SISS Package" and choosing "SISS Import and Export Wizard". That is the extent of my knowledge! So please, please, please be patient with me and be as descriptive as possible.

I thought I could attach some sample files to this post, but it doesn't look like I can. I'll just paste the information below in two separate code boxes. The first code box is the flat file specifications and the second one is a sample single line flat file similar to what I'm dealing with (the real flat file is over 2 gigs).

My questions are below the sample files.

Code Snippet
Record Length 400

Positions Length FieldName

Record Type 01
1,2 L=2 Record Type (Always "01")
3,12 L=10 Site Name
13,19 L=7 Account Number
20,29 L=10 Sub Account
30,35 L=6 Balance
36,37 L=1 Active
37,41 L=5 Filler
Record Type 02
1,2 L=2 Record Type (Always "02")
3,4 L=2 State
5,30 L=26 Address
31,41 L=11 Filler
Record Type 03
1,2 L=2 Record Type (Always "03")
3,6 L=4 Coder
7,20 L=14 Locator ID
21,22 L=2 Age
23,41 L=19 Filler
Record Type 04
1,2 L=2 Record Type (Always "04")
3,9 L=7 Process
10,19 L=10 Client
20,26 L=6 DOB
26,41 L=16 Filler
Record Type 05
1,2 L=2 Record Type (Always "05")
3,16 L=14 Guarantor
17,22 L=6 Guar Account
23,23 L=1 Active Guar
**There can be multiple 05 records, one for each Guarantor on the account**

and the single line flat file...

Code Snippet

As you can see, each entry could have any number of records and multiples of some of the record types, with one exception, every entry must have a "01" record and can only have one "01" record. Oh, and each record has a length of 400.

I need to get this information into a SQL 2005 database so I can create a front end for accessing the data. Originally, I wanted one line for each account and have null values listed for entries that don't have a specific record. Now that I've looked at the data again, that doesn't look like a good idea. I think a better way to do it would be to create 5 different tables, one for each record type. However, records 2 through 5 don't have anything I can make a primary key. So here are my questions...

Is it possible to make 5 tables from this one file, one table for each of the record types?

If so, can I copy the Account number in record 01, position 13-19 in each of the subsequent record types (that way I could link the tables as needed)?

Can this be done using the SISS Import and Export Wizard to create the package? If not, I'm going to need some very basic step by step instructions on how to create the package.

Is SISS the best way to do this conversion or is there another program that would be better to use?
I know this is a huge question and I appreciate the help of anyone who boldly decides to help me! Thank you in advance and I welcome anyone's suggestions!

Redefining Columns Isn't Possible With Flat File Connection Manager Editor Properties Already Fixed??

May 29, 2006

Dear fellows,

I know that I think as sql2k programmer-dba yet but I can��t avoid.

I��ve got Flat File Connection Manager Editor dragged with a text file as ��ragged right�� format and CRLF as header row limiter. When from properties page and Columns option I��m going to alter just a few colums I am not be able.
It seems that you must erase all of them in order to define one or two. And in the case you��d have 50????
When I ran sql2k DTS designer did that without problems, alter columns again and again.

As far as I know it��s a lose of flexibility, or not? Or is there any way for do that without deleting nothing else?

SQL Server 2012 :: Handling Flat File Destinations Dynamically?

Feb 5, 2015

After performing a join operation on two tables i get the below resultset

pid, fname, typename, pname, pcost

1, cad, bars, product-1, 100

2, har, witte, product-2, 120

3, nes, bars, product-3, 119

Now i need to create files with the obtained resultset like

Column 'fname' is the folder name and 'typename' should be the file in the particular folder.

For example the first record should be inserted into file name 'bars.txt' in the folder 'cad' and third record should be created in file name 'bars.txt' in the folder 'nes'.

SQL 2012 :: SSIS - Export Flat File As CSV With Padded Spaces

Oct 5, 2015

From SSIS I need to export data to a CSV with spaces padding the end of each field before the delimited value. For example if I have three fields that are Nvarchar(10) I need it to be this:

Testing ,Test123 ,Again {end of line}

instead of this:

Testing,Test123,Again{end of line}

It's like it can do fixed width or delimited but not both. Is this possible without having to force the spaces into the data coming back from SQL? I already have the SSIS package written to export the data to CSV which works great, just need to find some way to add the spaces to the end of each column to satisfy requirements on the system being exported to. Also the commas need to be there too.
