If I run the below command, it clean up the files inside the folders but unable to clean up the folder and sub-folders older than 30 days. xp_ cmd shell ' forfiles -p "D:abcd" -s -m *.* -d -30 -c "cmd /c del /Q @path"'
View 4 RepliesI'm using sp_OACreate in a scalar function to create a folder if it doesn't exist, and it works fine if you're asking it to create a single folder. For instance: C:Newfolder
It creates "Newfolder"
However, if I try to ask it to create C:NewfolderNewsubfolder
It doesn't work
Here's the code:
DECLARE @Exists int, @ObjFile int, @ObjFileSystem int, @Folder nvarchar(500) = 'C:',
@Action tinyint = 1 --(0 to check if folder exists, 1 to actually create it)
EXEC dbo.sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @ObjFileSystem OUT
EXEC dbo.sp_OAMethod @ObjFileSystem, 'FolderExists', @Exists OUT, @Folder

Hello ,
I am little confused in writing the exact query i.e filling the correct details in the query .
To simplify let me explain....
I am using the query as
delete MYTABLE
where datediff(dd,loaddate,getdate())>5
I have a table now with loadate column which gets the default date and time . The loadate shows correct date and time when the data was imported in the table .
Now suppose if i want to delete previous 5 days records from today
( for e.g today is 20/08/2002 3:40:00 PM ) ideally it should delete all records which are 5 days older from today . i.e from 20/08/2002 3:40:00 PM to 15/08/2002 3:40:00 PM )
But when i execute the datediff command , it deletes the records previous than 15/08/2002 till 15/08/2002.
The records from 15/08/2002 to 20/08/2002 remain intact .
I am getting some different results .
Am i missing something in the query or i am confused about the calculation of the dates the datediff command performs .
Is the logic correct or i am missing someting important ?
Thanks and Regards

Hi ,
I have a scheduled job which does an text file import in my database . The data gets appended in my table every day from this import job .
Since my table is growing every day , i want to truncate the table after the data has been collected for three months i.e 90 days . The table will be empty and the new data will flow in through the import .
Any thoughts how to do it through query and schedule it ???
Thanks
When running the following SQL statements, I get the same results.Though I need to count only -30 days. Both statements below alsoconsider the time of the day as well, which is not desiredDELETE FROM MNT_RWHERE MNT_R.TIMESTAMP < GETDATE()- 30DELETE FROM MNT_RWHERE MNT_R.TIMESTAMP < DATEADD(d, -30, GETDATE())Here is the format of the values in columnMNT_R.TIMESTAMP2005-08-09 06:06:44.5772005-08-09 06:06:46.8102005-08-09 06:06:49.060So, since data are inserted into the MNT_R table every few seconds, mydelete statement will delete different number of rows, according to thetime of the day it runs.Can you please post a SQL query that will not give me this headache?thanx a lot all
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to delete all files in a given folder that are older than 3 days from today's date.
I tried using a "Foreach Loop container" with a "File System" task inside it but found I couldn't access any file properties such as the file creation date. Am I using the wrong task for this job?

P.S. History of the problem:
I used the sql 2005 Database maintenance program to setup our database backup jobs. One day I noticed that the free space on the drive where we keep the dumps had grown small. I found that we had at least 4 weeks of dumps in there, not the 3 days I wanted to keep! I looked but could not find the "delete file" option in the SSIS package generated by the Database Maintenance Wizard. No wonder the files were piling up.
I want to delete all backup files from a folder older than a specific date. But if I use the beklow query, I need to pass how many days of older backup files I need to delete whereas in my case, I dont know how many days/month/syears of old backup files are there in the backup folder.
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'FORFILES /p c:BACKUP /s /m *.sql /d -30 /c "CMD /C del /Q /F @FILE"'
I am trying to create a job that would backup a DB dynamically to a different folder based on the week day. So if it's Saturday, backup to folder Saturday.
I have this
DECLARE @BackupLoc nvarchar (100)
DECLARE @DayOfWeek nvarchar (100)
set @BackupLoc = N'D:Backup'
set @DayOfWeek = (SELECT DATENAME(dw,GETDATE()))
set @BackupLoc = @backuploc + @DayOfWeek
[Code] ....
But it's giving me permission errors, although the AGENT and MSSQL service accounts are members of the local admins group.

How to structure the folders which will be easy to manage and easy to release ?
I loaded an application to my server with the app_data folder intact in the application folder which is a sub folder of the root web.
Through my host enableing SQL somehow a second App_Data folder has been created in the root of the web and the db has been duplicated. Without a doubt this is causing a problem with the application not running correctly. The application is the asp.net membership app which is trying to read and write to the .mdf file.
Can we simply delete the App_data folder in the the root web or will this rebuild itself? Or do we need to edit the web config files?
How / Why did this happen?

Hi All,
I need to get access to stored packages. To do so I use
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application class.
There are methods: Application.FolderExistsOnDtsServer, Application.FolderExistsOnSqlServer
but I need to enumerate existed folders.
Are there something like: Application.GetFolders(String ParentFolderName) ?
I have searched in doc but there is not any useful except:
"To verify that the folder was created, the following Transact-SQL query selects all packages stored in the File System folder of the Stored Packages package store.
select * from sysdtspackages90 "
It is not suitable for me because I don't have permissions to access database
Thanks,

Apologies in advance for the newbie question. I'm new to Integration Services and am trying to build my first project.
I want to dynamically create folders based on the results of a stored procedure. The resultset is limited to one column but can contain multiple rows. (It returns a list of 8-character strings representing dates.) This returned value needs to be combined with the path where the new folders should be created.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I've run the stored procedure and put the resultset into a RecordSet Destination that uses a variable of type Object. (At least, I think I've done it correctly.) But I have not been able to figure out how to access this data to actually create the folders.
Thanks for the help,
Chris
HI, I have a Dbase Database stored in several subfolders. I allready made my connection with a sqldatasource and a gridview, and all works fine when i do a query with the tables in to root folder. The problem is when I try to include tables from the subfolders, the compiler send me a syntax error in the FROM Clausule
I Allready try this.
SELECT products.id, products.descri, condition.discount from products, clientscondition where products.line=condition.line
SELECT producst.id, products.descri, clientscondition.discount from products, clientscondition where products.line=condition.line
SELECT products.id, products.descri, condition.discount from products, condition in 'clients' where products.line=condition.line
SELECT producst.id, products.descri, clientscondition.discount from products, 'clients'.condition where products.line=condition.line
And many other different combinations. I would like to be helped if you know the correct syntax or a link where i can consult the syntax for VB.net and dbase with several folders
Another option a tried is having a query from 2 different datasources, but I don´t know how to make a reference to the 2 sqldatassources in a new one to be linked to the gridview

I see under databases in the object explorer of SQL Server Management Studio that there are two sub-folders: System Databases and Database Snapshots.
Is there a way to create other folders here? It would be nice to be able to group the various databases (ex. Samples).

Within my Report Manager, I have several folders, and I would like these folders to be only visible to certain users and groups. In the Active Directory I have DOMAINGroupName1. If I add this group to the folder I want them to have access to with a Browser role, when they open Report Manager they do not see the folder at all. Then I added the same group to the HOME folder also, but again they could not see their folder when they opened the Report Manager. If I add the Users of this group individually (DOMAINUser1, DOMAINUser2 etc) then they can see the folder and run reports just fine. This is not an ideal solution as groups will change over time and I don't want to have to keep adding and deleting members. Anyone got any ideas why they can't see their folder?
Thanks!

I am making changes to a report and believe I am correctly deploying it to an ssrs report folder per the messages I get back from vs.net.
Question is, how can I see what folders are available? and where? At some point I knew or was able to do this, and think it was through SQL server since I can't see them through IIS and they don't appear to be real file system folders.
Also, I'm trying to figure out why parameter default value changes i make don't seem to deploy or overwrite??, while cosmetic (color for example) changes do when I deploy. I am selecting the option overwritedatasource in the project.
If I navigate to the reportserver I see the folder in question.

I am the administrator for our Reporting Services environment. I was researching the functionality of the My Reports feature of Reporting Services 2005. I enabled the My Reports feature and SSRS created folders to accomodate this feature. I then experimented with linked reports.
Now I want to undo this feature. I turned off the My Reports feature but the folders remain. The Report Manager refuses to delete them. I found their entries in the ReportServer.Catalog table but don't want to just delete them.
Does anyone know how to remove these folders from the Report Manager?

Here's one thing that I'd like to see come out in some version of the SQL Server Management Studio...
The ability to create folders under the database node so that databases can be grouped on one server.
We have over 100 databases on our development server and these are created by a range of consultants and developers and even support staff as needed.
Being able to group the databases by product, etc would be a nice touch since we have client databases that don't fit naming conventions etc.
Multiple instances are another way around this but are expensive and resource hungry - we develop and support models, not use them for transactions too much.
Yes there are 'better' ways such as setting security correctly but we are too busy working and not maintaining.
Folders or database groups would be a nice touch.
Cheers

This is terrible thing to happed at 4:30 pm on Friday!
I was working yesterday on some of deployment packages using file system (by the way, my msdb can not expand )
and just an hour ago I wanted to try some parent child deployment using file system.
but,
The only two folders I see in Integration services are Running Packages and Stored Packages. Nothing under those ones...
I have checked default location for File System (C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPackages) and there are three packages there but these do not show in IServices.
And another question, if I execute package by double clicking on .dstx file should that make it show under File System?
thanks
I have a situation from where I need to loop through different folders and files in these folders. After processing these files, I need to archive these folders to different location.
e.g., C:MainFolderMar01 ==> Multiple files in Mar01 folder
C:MainFolderMar02 ==> Multiple files in Mar02 folder
Does any one know the best way to do this in SSIS?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am a new user for RS so this might be a very dump question for some of the advanced users here.
I am using SQL 2005 RS and was wondering how I can deploy reports to specific folders that I created on the Reports page. I do know that I can go to Properties to move the reports to different folders. But the problem I have is when I deploy the reports from VS 2005 ( I created the reports using VS 2005) they were deployed back to the old/root folder. How can I change the 'deploy-to' destination folder for the reports in VS 2005?
Many Thanks,
Casey
